SDM exploration of the results

Thresholding the results

Results from previous calculations can be thresholded to a given probability or a given SDM-Z / SDM-Q value, obtaining peak coordinates, clusters breakdowns and NIfTI images. This will also open MRIcron or FSLView brain viewer to display the results (see Settings section for help on setting up MRIcron or FSLView integration).

Please find citation information for the atlas by Catani, Thiebaut de Schotten et al below.

To threshold a map

Press the button [Threshold]

or:

Select [Threshold] in the Statistics menu, to open the following dialog:
