Kevin,

If by "extent" you mean surface area, try using the metric clustering function. Use this feature after your functional volume has been mapped to the surface. It will allow you to set a range of metric values and a minimum surface area for clusters. Launch the dialog using Attributes Menu->Metric->Clustering and Smoothing.

* Map your functional volume to the surface
* Select Attributes Menu->Metric->Clustering and Smoothing
* On the Metric Modification Dialog, set the input to the metric column containing your functional data, set the output to a new column. * Press the Clustering tab, press the round button on the left of "Minimum Surface Area", and enter a value for the minimum surface area of a cluster. Use the Cluster Values to select a range of metric values for the clusters. Press the Apply button.
* Display the newly created metric column.

Greetings

I've searched through previous postings and the caret documentation but I am unable to find any information regarding a method to set a minimum cluster extent threshold while projecting functional activation onto a surface map. Is this at all implemented in caret, or can anyone suggest an equivalent
method?

Best
Kevin
