It is the maximum vertex-wise -log10(p) found in the cluster. Why do you
think otherwise? You should be able to load the sig map into tksurfer
and go to that vertex to find out.

Thanks, for you responses Doug and Pratap. But, both of your responses
need more clarification, because I believe that we are not all
referring to the same 'max'.
Doug:
I understand that when I display the sig.cluster.mgh that the a CWP
value of 0.0001 would be displayed as a 4 by the color bar in
tksurfer, since it is the -log10(p). However, in this case, which is
about the cluster growing summary, the -log10(p) of the CWP does not
equal the Max. Max is -3.312 and the CWP is 0.08250. Or an additional
example form another sig.cluster.summary, where the Max is -4.310 and
the CWP is 0.0192.

In Pratap's email his answer to my question of what is the max in the
CWP is, "Yes thickness. The MAX indicates the maximum -log10(pvalue)
in that cluster." Which, is stating that it is both the thickness and
the pvalue. I really think that it is thickness measure, but need some
clarification from mgh.
So, is the Max in column 2 of the cluster growing summary report, from
monte carlo simulations, thickness?

Hi all. After looking over our monte-carlo results, I a
simple question
about the sig.cluster.summary output.
Is the " Max" in column 2 below a measurement of thickness?
thickness, is the correct interpretation the following:
the most
significant
cluster is in the laterorbitofrontal region.
yes at lateral orbital frontal.
The max vertex in that
cluster
has an average thickness of 3.312 mm and the negative
directionality
indicates that it is thinner in that region than in the
fsaverage (from
freesufer) used in the group analysis/simulations?
yes you are correct.
If it does not refer to thickness, is it a statistic, etc?
