[FieldTrip] Post-hoc tests for cluster-based permutation tests on event-related fields

[Jack Gao]

Dear Community,

My name is Chuanji Gao, I'm a PhD student in Experimental Psychology Program
at University of South Carolina. I'm now analyzing EEG data to get some
event-related
fields results.

There are three conditions (condition1, 2 and 3) that I want to compare. So
I used
ft_timelockstatistics to run the cluster-based permutation test firstly.
The cfg are as below.

%---------




*cfg = [];...cfg.neighbours  = neighbours;...*





*cfg.latency     = [0.1 0.8];cfg.avgovertime = 'no';cfg.parameter   =
'avg';cfg.method      = 'montecarlo';cfg.statistic   =
'depsamplesFmultivariate'; *






*...Nsub = 19;cfg.design(1,1:3*Nsub)  = [ones(1,Nsub) 2*ones(1,Nsub)
3*ones(1,Nsub)]; cfg.design(2,1:3*Nsub)  = [1:Nsub 1:Nsub
1:Nsub];cfg.ivar                = 1; cfg.uvar                = 2; stat =
ft_timelockstatistics(cfg,cond1{:},cond2{:}, cond3{:});*
%---------
The null hypothesis was rejected, and it seems the effect was most
pronounced
from 224ms to 800ms at centro-parietal regions.

The next step: I want to do pairwise comparisons of the three conditions.
I'm not sure if I should use the time window identified from the last
analyses as below:






*...cfg.latency     = [0.224 0.8];cfg.avgovertime = 'yes';cfg.parameter   =
'avg';cfg.method      = 'montecarlo';cfg.statistic   =
'ft_statfun_depsamplesT'; *

*...stat = ft_timelockstatistics(cfg,cond1{:},cond2{:});*

OR should I use the whole time window as I used in the first analyses as
below:







*...cfg.latency     = [0.1 0.8];cfg.avgovertime = 'no';cfg.parameter   =
'avg';cfg.method      = 'montecarlo';cfg.statistic   =
'ft_statfun_depsamplesT'; ...stat =
ft_timelockstatistics(cfg,cond1{:},cond2{:});*

I'm inclined to use the whole time window and "non-average over time", but
not
entirely sure. Can someone give me some suggestions on it? Any help would be
very appreciated.

Best,
Chuanji
