RE: Connected components in NBS
Hi Anita,

This is exactly what the NBS does: identify sub-networks and provide a p-value for each sub-network. Sub-networks are defined by a subset of connections comprising the whole network. All edges comprising a sub-network are above the primary threshold.

It is technically possible for a sub-network to comprise a single connection, but this is not typical.

So to answer your question - no we are not restricted to single connections. In fact the NBS will usually declare significance for a group of connections that form a sub-network.

Thank you for the clarification on the component size in NBS.

In regards to my second question, NBS identifies significant connections above a suprathreshold, but is there any way to look at sub-networks of ROIs (groups of connections) that are significant? Or are we restricted to single connections that are significant?
