[Mne_analysis] permutation cluster analysis only shows significant results on right hemisphere

[Denis-Alexander Engemann]

Hi Xing,

the probem is that the two hemispheres don't share any connections as
defined by the spatial connectivity matrix.
under favorable circumstances you might discover two clusters, one in each
hemisphere,  which, functionally, belong togethe.
often this is not the case though.
sometimes using the `step_down_p` paremter can help which might lead to
detecting the second cluster.
separate tests for each hemisphere are possible, but I fear you will then
need to apply e.g. a bonferroni correction.
you can only test one hemisphere like that:
