Hi Katja,

A couple of things come to mind:

* The 4.67 hot spot doesn't intersect the average fiducial surface. Did you map to the average fiducial surface, or use multi-fiducial mapping (MFM)? The latter method is less vulnerable to this problem.

* There could be some very large "spiky" values throwing off the scale.

I can take a quick look and let you know what I think:

Is the 4.67 hot spot in the left or right hem?

Dear Caret users,

Mapping spmT*.img files (SPM99) to a surface in Caret, the resulting image seems (at first glance) to fit the data table I obtained from SPM. However, if I set the threshold to say t = 3,61 (metric --> settings --> threshold --> Pos User = 3,61 --> threshold type: User) which is the threshold I got from SPM for a given one-sample t-test, less activations remain as compared to the SPM data table. As an example, my results include an occipital activation with t = 4,67. If I want to see this structure activated on my Caret surface, I need to enter a threshold of about t = 1. Why do t-values and corresponding activations do not correspond between the two systems? How can make them correspond?
Thank you in advance.

Katja
