Dear Vincent,
For cluster correction at source space, you would need to trick the
ft_prepare_neighbours because (as far as I know) it only works with
sensor-space data - so you just need to update the pos. with those
from the source model. Here's a piece of scripts:
s = timePost; % timePost is the output of ft_timelockanalysis.
s.grad.chanpos = headmodel_time.pos(headmodel_time.inside,:);
s.grad.chanori = s.grad.chanpos;
s.grad.chanunit(1:size(s.grad.chanpos,1)) = s.grad.chanunit(1);
s.grad.chantype(1:size(s.grad.chanpos,1)) = s.grad.chantype(1);
s.grad.tra = ones(size(s.grad.chanpos,1),size(s.grad.tra,2));
for i=1:size(s.grad.chanpos,1)
s.grad.label{i} = num2str(i);
s.label{i} = num2str(i);
s.grad.labelold = num2str(i);
end
% prepare_neighbours determines what sensors may form clusters
cfg_neighb.method = 'distance';
% cfg.method = 'triangulation';
neighbours = ft_prepare_neighbours(cfg_neighb, s);
%% inspecting random neighbours (#1200)
neighbours2 = [];
neighbours2 = neighbours(1200);
% neighbours2.neighblabel = neighbours2.neighblabel(1:20);
% plotting neighbours for inspection
cfg = [];
cfg.neighbours = neighbours2;
ft_neighbourplot_source(cfg, s);
Now for cluster-correction, you need to have your source trials as
inputs, and do something like:
%% Cluster-correction
cfg = [];
cfg.parameter = 'pow';
cfg.dim = sourcemodel.dim;
cfg.method = 'montecarlo';
% cfg.statistic = 'ft_statfun_depsamplesT';
cfg.statistic = 'depsamplesT';
% cfg.statistic = 'indepsamplesT';
cfg.correctm = 'cluster';
% cfg.correctm = 'fdr';
cfg.clusteralpha = 0.01;
cfg.clusterstatistic = 'max';
% cfg.correcttail = 'prob';
cfg.tail = 0;
cfg.clustertail = 0;
cfg.alpha = 0.05;
cfg.numrandomization = 5000;
cfg.neighbours = ft_prepare_neighbours(cfg_neighb, s);
ntrials = L;
design = zeros(2,2*ntrials);
design(1,1:ntrials) = 1;
design(1,ntrials+1:2*ntrials) = 2;
design(2,1:ntrials) = 1:ntrials;
design(2,ntrials+1:2*ntrials) = 1:ntrials;
cfg.design = design;
cfg.ivar = 1;
cfg.uvar = 2;
stat = ft_sourcestatistics(cfg,Source1,Source2);
stat.pos = souremodel.pos;% keep positions for plotting later
and for plotting stats,
cfg = [];
cfg.voxelcoord = 'no';
cfg.parameter = 'stat';
% cfg.interpmethod = 'nearest';
cfg.interpmethod = 'sphere_avg';
statint = ft_sourceinterpolate(cfg, stat, template_mri);
cfg.parameter = 'mask';
maskint = ft_sourceinterpolate(cfg, stat, template_mri);
statint.mask = maskint.mask;
atlas = ft_read_atlas('ROI_MNI_V4.nii');
statint.coordsys = 'mni';
cfg = [];
cfg.method = 'ortho';
% cfg.method = 'slice';
cfg.funparameter = 'stat';
cfg.maskparameter = 'mask';
cfg.atlas = atlas;
cfg.location = 'max';
% cfg.funcolorlim = [-5 5];
cfg.funcolormap = 'jet';
% cfg.location = [x,y,z];
ft_sourceplot(cfg,statint);
Hope this helps, and let me know if you are running into issues.
Cheers,
Vahab

We've been recently trying to play with the cluster-based statistics that you developed and included in Fieldtrip, but hit a difficulty in our analysis pipeline and I wondered if you would be so kind to take a few minutes and provide advice on this?

The hypothesis H0 states that the data can be exchanged (between conditions). If it is very unlikely that the data can be exchanged (under H0), we decide that the data must be different somehow. The clusters provide evidence for the data being different, but the clusters are not the difference itself. The tip of an iceberg above the sea level provides evidence for there being an iceberg, but the tip is not the iceberg itself.

However the very complex shape of the cluster does not make this step so obvious. There are multiple possibilities that would come to mind, most of them absolutely ad-hoc, so I wondered your opinion on what would be the most rigorous, or at least least unacceptable way to go (or even just the most standard way, if there's one).

The hypothesis you started with was ?is there any difference in this massive multiple-comparision space?? and the (only) answer you got to that question was ?yes?.

> I cannot offer specific advice on how to interpret your data, but recommend that you consider whether your true quest is for ?the (one and only) effect? or ?the effects? that causes the data in the two conditions to be different. Of course you can argue that the effect(s) show at certain frequency ranges and/or latencies and/or locations, and therefore you may decide to look for the interpretation of the effect(s) at or around those parts of the cluster.

This is something that we often rely on in sequential studies, where in the 2nd study we don?t repeat the full hypothesis of the 1st study (e.g. ?is there any difference?), but a more specific sub-hypothesis that we generated on basis of the first study (e.g. is there a difference around this specific time-frequency range).
