[FieldTrip] Cluster-based permutation tests for between-subject design

More specifically, I was wondering about the recipe for a 2x2 mixed
between-within-subjects design (with 2 groups of unequal size).
For instance, provided I have two groups: the first with subj1 till subj12
(12 participants), and the second with subj21 till subj34 (14
participants), and each participant with 2 conditions.
Then for each participant i calculate the difference between the 2
conditions (subjXdiff) (say for instance, the difference in power in each
grid point), and then compare the two groups with an indepsamplesT:
subj1diff, ... subj12diff    versus subj21diff,.. subj34diff.

Would such an indepsamplesT test correspond to testing the interaction
between group and condition?

Thanks,
Yoni
