Hi Martin,

Sometimes it might be useful to decrease the cluster alpha p value (e.g. 0.01). This prevents too much clustering and favors your strong effects. Maybe this helps.

Best,

Stephan

The calculated GrandAVG-data looks very good, you can see this in the attached files. (GAVG_LEFT and GAVG_RIGHT). We got activity in the left and right brain hemisphere, localized at single spot.

If you look up the file statplot.jpg you can see that the positive cluster looks quite okay but the negative cluster only looks good in the upper right corner but then it is distributed all over the brain till the lower left corner.
