The values that you get in the field "stat.prob" when you do either
one of
   stat = freqstatistics(cfg, freq)
   stat = timelockstatistics(cfg, timelock)
   stat = sourcestatistics(cfg, source)
and with cfg.correctm=yes are indeed corrected p-values. The
functions will also print the following on your screen
   "using a maximum-statistic based method for multiple comparison
correction"
   "the returned probabilities and the thresholded mask are corrected
for multiple comparisons"

There is no more documentation on them than this single line in
statistics_montecarlo
%   cfg.correctm         = apply multiple-comparison correction,
'no', 'max', cluster', 'bonferoni', 'holms', 'fdr' (default = 'no')

Someone here in Nijmegen is currently rewriting the randomization
statistics tutorial, I will ask him whether he can add some
information on these options.
