Hi Doug,
thank you veru much for the answr.
Please what do you mean by " an emperical question that depends on your data"? For example:
 
 I have two groups of participants. I ran cortical thickness analysis in Qdec to study the differnce between the groups in cortical thickness: 
1. Monte carlo simulation reported differnce between the groups ( p<0.05 ) in the precentral gyrus and the paracentral gyrus
2. FDR reported no diffwernce between the groups ( p<0.05)
 
Depending on pathology. I expect a differnce in the orecentral gyrus. How can I explain the results of FDR and mote carlo simulation? Does "empirical " means to follow the results that support the hypothesis?

There is no recommendation between FDR and monte carlo. The question of
which one is "better" is an emperical question that depends on your data.
