Data

Grab the files used for original glms (e.g. ces.nii.gz) Rename and cat them for each hemi

mri_concat T1_ces.nii.gz T2_ces.nii.gz --o T1T2_ces.nii.gz

FSGD

For T1 vs. T2 Data, first line needs to stay the same. (g2v0.fsgd) -- 2 groups no covariates

glm

Command:

mri_glmfit --surface fsaverage rh --glmdir g2v0 --y T1T2_ces.nii.gz --fsgd g2v0.fsgd --C GroupDiff.mtx --C GroupT1.mtx --C GroupT2.mtx --C GroupT1T2.intercept.mtx 

Correct for multi comparisons

Next:

mri_glmfit-sim --glmdir g2v0 --cache 3 abs --cwpvalthresh .05

Now you've got clusters and .annot files to load up and get sizes/means etc.

Overlay

tksurfer fsaverage lh pial

load overlay -> cache.th30.abs.sig.cluster.mgh

cache.th30.abs.sig.cluster.summary contains cluster info.

Alternatively, you can segment the cache.th30.abs.sig.cluster.annot file into desired clusters.
