Hi there,

I am trying to use the FSL 'cluster' command to find peak coordinates within a large cluster of activation. With this, I should be able to find multiple local maxima within a single activated cluster. I've done this previously (old cluster, prior version of FSL), but it isn't working now. The base command (from qinteract),
cluster --in=thresh_zstat1.nii.gz --thresh=2.3 --mm --num=10

should take in the zstat image, and output 10 local minima for each cluster. Instead, it is only outputting 1, and the --num=10 (or -n 10, alternatively) argument is being ignored.

Anyone know what is going wrong here?

I know that I can raise the threshold to break the large cluster (i.e., set --thresh=2.3 to higher values) and this will give me the maxima of each produced cluster, but I don't like that solution.

Thanks,
O'Dhaniel

Noticed an error in what I wrote:
"should take in the zstat image, and output 10 local minima for each cluster."
should say
"should take in the zstat image, and output 10 local maxima for each cluster."

should you be running on the non-thresholded zstat1 image instead?

Hi Chris,

My notes were that it worked on the thresh_zstat.nii.gz. I tried it also on the zstat1.nii.gz, and it produced the same output of 1 maxima per cluster.

Thanks though!

try this instead:

cluster -i thresh_zstat1 -t 2.3 --connectivity=26 -n 10 --mm --olmax=lmax_zstat1_std.txt

that works for me...

Thanks Dave,

That also worked for me. The connectivity term is optional, the key part is the --olmax=filename term

Thanks!
