[FieldTrip] Source statistic doesn't match grand average difference at all and prior knowledge

[Haiteng Jiang]

Hi FTer,
   I am  doing Cluster-based permutation statistic  after beamforming on
two condition over subjects following the tutorial
http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/example/source_statistics, but I get
something funny.
 In my case , I would expect decreased activity in  the visual and
posterior area.  The effect is quite strong, which  is showed in the grand
average  difference (log ratio to reduce inter subject variability).
 However ,  from the statistic ,  the identified areas go to  the temporal
area , which doesn't make sense at all .   Please see the below and
attached  pictures.    I understand cluster-based permutation  test doesn't
necessary pick the peak difference, but  in general it should find main
different area.  Any comment would be greatly appreciated.

 Best,
