Hi Maria, can you tar up the qdec output folder and send it to our file drop? I'm traveling now, so it might be the 1st week of august before I can take a look. You can also go into the qdec output folder and run tksurfer to show you the results.

Hello,
I have another newbie question. I'm running qdec, trying to compare cortical thickness in children with and without ADHD. However, I'm seeing a discrepancy between the clusters that are significant according to the terminal (after applying the Monte-Carlo simulation with default parameters; output below) and the ones that pop up when I hit "Find clusters and goto Max". For example, I'm seeing 4 regions in the terminal: medialorbitalfrontal, inferiorparietal, caudalmiddlefrontal, and precentral. However, when I hit "Find clusters and goto Max", I only see the Frontalpole.
Using mri_surfcluster to extrat thickness measures only extracts it for the frontalpole, and not for the 4 ROIs listed in the terminal. I would like to be able to extract stats on those 4 that are listed in the terminal, if possible.
Can you please help me reconcile the 2 types of output? Thanks!
