Hi Chang,

There is a difference between xjview (or SPM) and REST slice viewer:

xjview (SPM) uses one-tailed p value, e.g., it only test patients > controls, and then test patients < controls separately. Thus, two separate comparisons are performed, thus need some procedure to correct multiple comparisons.

REST slice viewer uses two-tailed p value, e.g., test patients > controls and patients < controls at the same time. For a same T value, its p value is twice of the p value of one-tailed test.

Hi, My name is Chang Xiao. I have been registered in R-fMRI Network. But now I have trouble logging in using my username "lixiangcx". Is there something wrong with my account? PS: I have a simple question regarding to xjview and slice viewer: In the xjview and the slice viewer, even if I set the same p value (and the same cluster size), the thresholds are different. Why? For example: In xjview, if I set p = 0.01, cluster size = 10, than the intensity is 2.3266. While in slice viewer, if I set p = 0.01, cluster size = 10, than the intensity is 4.9267. Consequently, the significant clusters are far less than those in xjview. Why threshold should I adopt? Thanks for your kindness helping and best regards. Chang Xiao
