Hi all,
From some previous discussions and Matt Brett's page on cluster
thresholding I understand that you chose the z value based on the
activation you are looking for;high z for small regions and low Z for big
regions (given p<0.05, corrected).
I performed a ROI analysis (pre-masked the data with part of the fusiform
gyrus and parahippocampal gyrus)with a (corrected) cluster significance
threshold of P=0.05 and I tried a very low Z threshold of 1.1.
According to the clusterlist below I find a large cluster (232 voxels) that
is significantly active (P<0.05) with z-max 1.9.
I wonder if there are any rules of thumb to determine an appropriate Z
threshold (other than the default) and would this z = 1.1 still be a
reasonable threshold?
Thanks!
Nelleke
