Hi - it's not very clear what you're asking, as I can't tell what programs/approaches were used to create the inputs to the analyses you're asking about?
Cheers.

I tried both TFCE and voxel-based thresholding at both 1000 and 5000 permutations. I displayed the output in FSLview with intensity being 0~1, aiming to see the statistical outcome of the whole hippocampi. However, the boundary was not closing with some gap near the tail. My understanding of this gap was that the p value for these regions were 1, making (1-p) being 0, and therefore displayed as transparence. Was my understanding correct? Is there anyway to prove my thought? (P.S. the mask is closed)

And since the gap mentioned in the first question, there were a few leaks on the surface, making it looking ugly. I was thinking of projecting the result onto a hippocampi template. But it seemed that most templates would submerge the statistical significance. What would be your suggestion of the best way to present it in a journal paper?
