Catalina, Here's an answer to one of your questions: > The second questions is about the number of resels within the search volume: > For example S=2384753mm^3=162503 voxels, 1 resel=47.17 voxels but S=3229 > resels not 3445 that are expected. Why is this difference? How do you > compute the number of the voxels within aresel and the number of the resels > within the search volume? If I divide S by the product of the FWHM_i i get > 3485 resels in S thus another value. See the end of this message for answer: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0103&L=spm&P=R1537 In short, the RESEL calculation uses a slightly different measure of volume which comes out slightly smaller than S. This slight difference makes the RESEL count more accurate (for the purpose of generating random field theory corrected p-values). -Tom -- Thomas Nichols -------------------- Department of Biostatistics http://www.sph.umich.edu/~nichols University of Michigan [log in to unmask] 1420 Washington Heights -------------------------------------- Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2029
