Dear Bing, Cluster inference works best when you have a search volume that is large relative to the smoothness. For just a 10mm radius SVC region, I wouldn't expect cluster inferences to be of any use at all. For such small regions I would stick with peak/voxel inferences. -Tom On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 7:38 PM, Bing Ye <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Dear SPMers: > > I want to use small volume correction (SVC) for the brain activation level. > I have encountered an issue, after using the SVC, the puncorrected value at > the cluter-level is higher than before (e.g. p=0.06 after using the SVC , > whereas before is 0.02. ) , but the p corrected-level is significant after > SVC at cluster-level.
