Hi - you're right that easythresh isn't exactly the same, because it uses the zstat image and not the residuals to estimate smoothness. However in my experience it isn't ever very different. I suspect that something's not comparable here - for example, are both approaches using differently pre-masked images? How do the smoothness estimations and voxel counts compare in the two cases?
