RE: Second level results?
Hi Sheeba,

Yes, exactly, the FDR-corrected method depends on the distribution of T-statistics on each volume so different analyses will use different T- and k- thresholds in order to implement the same FDR-p threshold. (as a side note, it is not recommended to 'compare' the results from different groups by visually or otherwise comparing the individual within-group effects, rather it is preferred to perform this sort of 'comparisons' by defining the corresponding between-group second-level model -e.g. select both groups and enter a [1,-1] between-subjects contrast in order to compare the effects between the two groups)

Best

Hi Alfonso,

When I look at within group effects separately on the two groups I am interested in comparing and set a height threshold of p<0.05 FDR-corrected; I get different k values for the corresponding extent-thresholds for FDR-corrected p-values<.05 in each group.Is it driven by the corresponding T-cut off?


Thanks!
Sheeba
