Hi Wolff an ROI can be sigificantly different without any individual vertex being significant. It means the vertex measures are noisy in all likelihood, but the noise averages out in the larger number of measurements. cheers Bruce On Mon, 11 Feb 2013, Wolff Schlotz wrote: Dear Anderson

Dear Wolff, Compared to vertexwise, analysis of regions (ROIs) have different features. If the area of true signal spans the whole region, or large parts of it, then an ROI analysis tend to be more powerful as the noise is diluted when the vertices that comprise the ROI are summed or averaged.
