Thanks for your reply, David. The thing is that the *tfce_corrp_tstat*
files don't show any significant effect. Any thoughts on to what extent the
uncorrected but TFCE based p-maps would indicate that there is indeed an
effect, even if the formally corrected p-maps don't show any? I mean, the
uncorrected maps show clustered effects at logical locations and therefore
look very plausible. Or is TFCE never a surrogate for real multiple
comparisons correction? After reading Steve's TFCE paper I think it's not
just a cosmetical operation but adds real sensitivity...

Best regards,

René
