Comparing to zero

One way is to to a group analysis using AFNI.  I'm using that for
coherences---here's a snippet.

...
[source] = sourceanalysis(cfg, freq);
[source] = sourcedescriptives([], source);

brikname = 'blah';
[err, errmsg, info] = writesourcebrik(source, source.avg.coh, brikname);
if err
         disp(errmsg)
end

I've attached writesourcebrik.m, which sets things up to write a brik in a
format that is compatible with CTF datasets, although that's not really
important.  It uses a function called WriteBrik.m from the AFNI library, you can
get that from the same website where you get AFNI.  Once you have a set of
datasets in BRIK format, you can do the test using 3dttest.  You have to first
warp all your datasets to some common space such as Talairach or MNI (AFNI is
more at home with Talairach), using adwarp.  Then something like

3dttest -prefix outname -base1 0 -set2 subj1+tlrc subj2+tlrc ... subN+tlrc

will do the test.  There's a randpermute function that does the non-parametric
correction on our website, too, at kurage.nimh.nih.gov.
