Hi John,

In PALM, FWER is always present across voxels (even without "-corrmod" and
"-corrcon"). The output always includes files named "fwep" that are
FWER-corrected across voxels.

If there are multiple contrasts and you'd like to correct across these, use
"-corrcon" and files named "cfwep" will be produced.

If there are multiple input modalities and you'd like to correct across
these, use "-corrmod" and files named "mfwep" will be produced.

If both "-corrmod" and "-corrcon" are used, files named "mcfwep" will be
produced.

None of these is Bonferroni -- PALM does't use Bonferroni in any
circumstance, although in some particular cases, e.g., complete
independence and exhaustive permutations, the permutation-based correction
becomes equivalent to Bonferroni.

For a one-sample t-test, 2 contrasts, and sign-flippings, the options you
are using are fine. The -corrmod is only needed if there are more than one
modality. Otherwise, the mfwep will be the same as fwep, and mcfwep will be
the same as cfwep.

Hope this helps!

All the best,

Anderson
