This is not something you would run the MC sim on because there is no clustering, it is just a list of ROIs with their p-values. The p-values are uncorrected. You can do bonferoni correction across all the ROIs (or just the ones you are interested in). You could do FDR too.

Thanks Doug, that worked well.

However, is it possible to run a monte-carlo simulation with this GLM ROI analysis? I attempted to run it using the following command... mri_glmfit-sim --glmdir DesikanROIAnal_case-control.thick.lh.glmdir --cache 1.3 abs --cwpvalthresh 0.05 --2spaces
and received the following error:
ERROR: could not determine file for DesikanROIAnal_case-control.thick.lh.glmdir/mask

Even easier. Run aparcstats2table, then run mri_glmfit passing the output of aparcstats2table with --table (instead of --y). There's something on the wiki about it, also look for the ROI tutorial.

Hi Doug,

I am not sure how to run an ROI analysis using mri_glmfit. Is there a wiki page detailing this method (I was unable to find one)? Is the first step to map lh.aparc.label and rh.aparc.label from fsaverage to each of my individual subjects using mri_label2label? When I do so and then view the mapped label for an individual subject in freeview, it appears to be a continuous label for all of the parcellated regions combined. Is this correct?

Kind regards,

First, I would run the ROI analysis in mri_glmfit to see if you get the same results as in SPSS. In the handfull of these cases, no one has been able to correctly replicate the FS design matrix in SPSS, so I suspect that is part of the discrepancy. The other thing is that ROI and vertex-wise analyses are simply different. As an extreme example, if some of the vertices are pos and some are neg then they would cancel out when you average them in an ROI but individually could be significant at the vertex level. If you analyze the average over the cluster then that should come out as significant.

Dear FreeSurfer Mailing List,

I have a sample of schizophrenia and control subjects for whom I have run a case-control analysis of cortical thickness using two separate methods (GLM vertex-wise analysis in freesurfer, repeated measures ANCOVA analysis of parcellated data in SPSS). However, for each methods of analysis I am getting extremely different results. For the GLM in Freesurfer I have only 1 small cluster in the frontal lobe that differs between cases and controls (controlling for all other IVs, FWMH = 10mm, cluster-forming threshold= .05, cluster-wise pval=.05), while for the ANCOVA method all but 8 of the parcellated regions differ significantly between groups (p<.05). For both methods I have used the same model of predictors (independent variables = gender, group, scanning site; covariate = age) and exactly the same sample of participants. I have also replicated the GLM analysis using the QDEC GUI to ensure that I had no made any mistakes.

Can you provide any insight into why I would be seeing such different results for each method using the same data set? My findings using the ANCOVA analysis make much more sense to me, given previous findings of reduced cortical thickness in schizophrenia subjects. I was surprised not to find the same pattern of effects using the GLM analysis.
