      Hi, Douglas
       
      Thanks for your reply. I have two further questions here.
        First, I know that
        --grf is gaussian random fields for the volume (not surface). Could
        the Monte Carlo simulation such as "--cache 4 neg" be used for
        correction on volume? Because the manual introduces this method
        for the correction on surface, and thus I do not whether this
        method could be used on volume.
    
    Yes, I think that should work. If you are going to run simulations
    on the surface, see
    https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/BuildYourOwnMonteCarlo

    
       
      Second, in the Monte Carlo simulation on surface 
        "--cache 4 neg", I can specify the sign (neg for negative, pos,
        or abs). However, in the grf correction, there are "--grf 3 pos or neg 
".  Could I
        specify the sign "abs" such as "--grf
        3 abs".
    
    No, sorry

    
       
      Best,
      Feng

          --grf is gaussian random fields for the volume (not surface). 
           
          Re: --2spaces, your understanding is correct. 
           
          FDR: you can do it in matlab, something like 
             sig = MRIread('sig.mgh'); 
             p = 10.^-abs(sig.vol) 
             pthresh = fast_fdrthresh(p,fdr); 
             ind = find(p < pthresh); 
             sig.vol(ind) = 0; 
             MRIwrite(sig,'sig.fdr.mgh') 
           
          It is also possible with mri_surfcluster
