Several potential problems. It makes the statistics non-gaussian and the abs(ces) becomes noise dependent (and so there will be a noise dependent bias). This makes interpretation more difficult (eg, is a difference between groups a difference in ces or a difference in noise?). The non-gaussian

You can do it to the sig file (the p-value already assumes a two-sided test). Why do you want to do it with the ces and cesvar files? If you are planning to use the abs(ces) for a higher level analysis then you need to be very careful as you can get some unintended effects doug On 01/07/201

Hi, I have two related questions. I have two conditions (e.g. C1 and C2) and I want to generate a map that shows all voxels that can differentiate C1 from C2 *irrespective* of whether C1>C2 or C1___ Freesurfer mailing list Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.
