You should read the FDR paper for more detail. But the FDR is the number
of false positives relative to the total number of positives. The way it
is interpreted is that when you look at an image, 5% of the voxels above
threshold are false. You don't know which 5%. If the 5% came out of a
big blob, probably you would not change your conclusion about that blob.
If there were a few single voxels that were above threshold, you
probably don't want to write your paper around it.

Dear Douglas,
Thank you for your reply. I run “mri_fdr –help” to get docs that
include some information for how to use this command. However, I still
don’t know how FDR was used to correct for multiple comparisons.
This question is an opinion given by one reviewer, and I really don’t
know how to reply.
For the description "To correct for multiple comparisons, the
thresholds of the P maps were set to yield an expected false discovery
rate (FDR) of 0.05." The reviewer said “Would help to provide more
details as to how FDR was used to correct for multiple?”
Would you please give me some help to response the question? Thank you
very much.
Kind regards,
Livia
