In this case, the input file would be the sig.mgh file that you want to extract clusters from. For this, you would not use a csd file (which is created by the simulation, unless you want to exclude clusters based on their p-values instead of size). You would set the --thmin to set the voxel-wise threshold. You would also set --minarea to exclude clusters smaller than a certain size. doug

Dear Freesurfer experts,
after a partial correlation (cortical thickness in different brain regions of 24 Subjects correalted with socres on different neuropsychological scales) I tried to define the minimal and maximal cluster size in Qdec in order to show only the largest effects. I run "mri_surfcluster" and other commands described on http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/mri_surfcluster. Unfortunately, it did not work. Should I use all the command lines? What is exactly meant by "inputfile" and "csd csdfile"? I guess my inputfile should be the "table.dat" File and T1-weighted images of all 24 Subjects...?
Thanks in advance!
Dusan

I don't think tthere is a way in qdec to define either. You can run mri_surfcluster externally to remove clusters under a certain size.
With
a few tricks you can remove the ones over a certain size too. doug

I am a beginner in using Freesurfer. I did an explorative study where I correlated cotical thickness with different
neuropsychological
parameters: I found positive correlations between cortical thickness and higher scores on different neuropsychological scales in different brain regions. However, some of these brain regions (clusters) with cortical thinning are only covering a very small surface area (blue color). I was now wondering if there is a possibility in Qdec to manually define the minimal and maximal cluster size, which I want to show? Thanks in advance! Dusan
