Thanks Doug. I only now gather that the statistical maps are displayed in
terms of the negative common (base 10) logarithm of the p-value.
Two questions:
1) I'm probably wrong here, but if they were displayed (and thresholded) in
terms of the corresponding *t*-value instead, would that not be more
convenient since you could also see at a glance the direction of the effect
(i.e. whether group A or B has the greater thickness), rather than having
to check the group means in the output files of the design?
2) given that p-values lie between 0 and 1, -log10(p) should be between 0
and infinity. How come, then, that the colour-bar also shows negative
values?
