a priori reason to belive something would happen for these electrodes and
time-window, you don't need cluster analysis at all. All the solutions to the
multiple-comparison problem are to be used in exploratory situation, when you
don't know what to expect. If you had specific hypothesis, don't be shy: test
them directy with a T-Test on the average voltage for a pre-determined
time-window. <br>
<br>
Think about it, if you did expect these effects to be there, you could had
create a montage with only one or two electrodes, and the multiple-comparison
problem would not apply at all.<br>
