Hi Jodi,

I replied this to the HCP mailing list earlier today. For completeness,
here it is the same answer:

By default PALM saves p-values directly, not 1-p. If you'd like 1-p, use
the option "-save1-p". Better than that, perhaps, is to use instead the
option "-logp", that puts the p-values in a log-scale, i.e., -log10(p).
This has at least three advantages:

- Larger values are the ones more significant.
- Contrast becomes more nuanced, without all significant p-values being
shrunk to the extreme of the colourscale.
- The p-vals in log-scale have a quasi-linear relationship with effect
sizes, which makes these images fairly similar to effect size maps, that
Tim alluded to.

So, if you can, use -logp. For a test level 0.05, the threshold is
-log10(0.05) = 1.3. Otherwise, for a similar behavior as randomise, use
-save1-p, in which case the equivalent threshold would be 0.95.

All the best,

Anderson
