Hi Hsekar,

In FSL (and in imaging in general), the t-tests always have a direction. If
we want the equivalent answer of the two-tailed, and if alpha=0.05, we look
at both results at 0.05/2. With many components, we then do 0.05/(2*n).

If we had from the very beginning two-tailed t-tests, we would simply do
0.05/n, but not 0.05/2, nor 0.05/(2*n).

It works in the same way for ANOVA (or any F-test): we do 0.05/n, as these
are already non-directional.

Hope this clarifies.

Cheers,

Anderson
