Hello, 

I got the same concern as miranda with trying to determine the number of 
vertices in my significant regions. I tried the 'Map Label to Subjects' options 
way, but I'm not sure where I can find the information Nick is mentioning (the 
text that says 'Found 389 points in source label.'). What do you mean with 
options? Is it in the subjects' individual label files? What if I want this 
information for the group and not for the individual subjects?

Thanks for your help!

>>>>>>>>>>> Miranda,

I'll assume for now that what you mean by 'cluster' is not a cluster in
the sense of clusters produced by a cluster-based correction for
multiple comparisons, which was only very recently introduced to qdec
(actually, just a script generator is produced).  But rather, I think
you mean the areas of significance that remain after you have either
manually adjusted the threshold or just left the thresholds at their
defaults.  If this is what you mean by cluster-size, there is no way now
in qdec to get the size of this 'cluster', outside of drawing a label
around it, and then click on the 'Map Label to Subjects' options, and
looking for the text that says 'Found 389 points in source
label.' (where in this example, the label had 389 points/vertices).

If you want a bit more exact way, you can use tksurfer:

tksurfer fsaverage lh inflated -overlay /path/to/qdec/sig.mgh

to load the sig.mgh file (from your qdec contrast dir of interest), then
adjust the thresholds (View->Configure->Overlay), then click on the
'cluster' you want (the blob), then click the 'Custom Fill' icon (a
paint bucket), then click 'Up to functional values below threshold',
click Fill, and it will fill that 'cluster' and the terminal window will
show you the number of vertices filled.  I'm hoping to add this 'fill'
feature to qdec at some point, to give a label creation option other
than drawing.
