When correcting for multiple comparisons with Bonferroni for FS parcilation statistics, is it necessary to adjust for all parcellations (35) or just the variables (in our case mean thickness and surface area)? Assuming that no prior hypothesis is used to constrain the number of parcellations.
Thanks for you input!

Hi Jon,
what statistical tests are you running? That defines what the bonferroni correction will be. For example, if you are testing for thickness differences in each parcellation unit, then you need to correct for the # of parcels.

Hi Jon ,
I think you should use a Hotelling ´s T2 statistic at each parcellation unit to account for the two variables you are using. Then you need to correct for the # of parcels. Alternatively, you may use False discovery rate correction. It is less stringent than Bonferroni correction.
Cheers Jorge Luis
