Dear HCP developers,

I'm wondering if you have come up with a good cluster-extent thresholding
procedure and implemented it as part of the workbench yet. I have seen a
couple of threads here
<https://www.mail-archive.com/hcp-users%40humanconnectome.org/msg00893.html>
and here
<https://www.mail-archive.com/hcp-users%40humanconnectome.org/msg00993.html>
re: this issue.

One strategy would be to go the Monte Carlo way, considering the two
surfaces and the volume separately (cf. Hagler et al 2006
<http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811906007919> for
the surface, which seems to be implemented in Freesurfer as mri_mcsim
<https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/BuildYourOwnMonteCarlo> and
mri_glmfit-sim for the surface; and of course the very popular AlphaSim
<http://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/doc/program_help/AlphaSim.html>,
superseded by 3dClustSim
<http://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/doc/program_help/3dClustSim.html>, in
AFNI for the volume).

Another way would be to go the Random Field Theory route. It's done in the
volume in SPM with spm_uc_clusterFDR.m; I'm sure it has been adapted to
surface data in some software suites (looks like the matlab code
<http://www.math.mcgill.ca/keith/fmristat/toolbox/stat_threshold.m> in this
old thread
<https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail/freesurfer/2007-August/005881.html>
could work).

Finally, FSL's randomize is another option that would play well with both
surface & volume at the same time, and it seems to be the route you've
taken. However (*correct me if I'm wrong*), this is not applicable to
single-subject data with one run only, which is one of my interests.

Please advise on the current status of development, and whether I need to
"hack" my own cluster extent threshold correction based on MC or RFT for
CIFTI data (if anyone knows any other good code resources to perform these
analyses on surface/volume data, please share!).

Thanks,
- Julien
