External Email - Use Caution        

Hi, following my concern that all my significant clusters (that have
survived monte carlo p<0.05 correction in this case) don't appear as their
appropriate colours (i.e. in yellow or blue to show positive or negative
max values, respectively), my question on how to make clusters look their
appropriate colours, you replied: fscalc cache.th13.abs.sig.cluster.mgh mul
-1 -o cache.th13.abs.sig.cluster.neg.mgh

I tried the below steps but my significant clusters are still not coloured
appropriately when I try visualizing them using command lines mentioned in
this thread. Will you please tell me what I am doing wrong below:

in my directory
(data9/users/avideh/data/recon/glm_PhD/lh.lgi.TD_NDD_age_sex_SA_FWHM0.glmdir/main_effect_of_age)
I ran the command line you gave:
fscalc cache.th13.abs.sig.cluster.mgh mul -1 -o
cache.th13.abs.sig.cluster.neg.mgh

and after it finished running successfully I did the following:
source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh
export SUBJECTS_DIR=/data9/users/avideh/data/recon
export WORKING_DIR=/data9/users/avideh/data/recon/glm_PhD
cd $WORKING_DIR

then:

vglrun freeview -f
$SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/surf/lh.pial:overlay=lh.lgi.TD_NDD_age_sex_SA_FWHM0.glmdir/main_effect_of_age/cache.th13.abs.sig.cluster.mgh:overlay_threshold=1.3,5:annot=lh.lgi.TD_NDD_age_sex_SA_FWHM0.glmdir/main_effect_of_age/cache.th13.abs.sig.ocn.annot
-viewport 3d

But the significant clusters are still not their appropriate colours. I'd
really appreciate your help on how I can visualize my significant clusters
in their appropriate colours.

Thank you so much
