SDM exploration of the results

Thresholding the results

Results from the corresponding model can be thresholded to a given uncorrected or corrected statistical significance level, obtaining peak coordinates, clusters breakdowns and NIfTI images. This will also open MRIcron brain viewer to display the results (if MRIcron is enabled; see Settings section for help on setting up MRIcron integration).

One-tailed vs two-tailed

As in most neuroimaging software, this dialog conducts a pair of one-tailed tests. To avoid doubling the false positive rate, please halve the statistical significance level (e.g., to 0.025).

To threshold a map

Press the button [Threshold]

or:

Select [Threshold] in the Statistics menu, to open the following dialog:

Command-line and batch usage

threshold p_map_path,z_map_path,value,minimum number of voxels

Example:

threshold analysis_MyMean/corrp_tfce,analysis_MyMean/MyMean_z,0.05,10

Note: p-map and z-map paths should NOT include the extension .nii.gz
