[FieldTrip] permutation test: multiple comparison correction for the p-values

Hi Iris,

I'm not sure what you want to do with the p-values in the following, but you can multiply your (FDR-corrected) mask with the prob.
This would look like this: stat_TF.prob_new = stat_TF.prob .* stat_TF.mask;

Now you only have the significant p-values left in your prob_new-field, everything else is set to 0.

Hope this helps

Julian
