In: Parametric and non-parametric statistics on event-related fields Last section of tutorial: http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/tutorial/eventrelatedstatistics The call to ft_clusterplot (the last function call in the tutorial), says it cannot find any cluster plot-able at the current alpha of 0.05. A few lines above, it is stated in the text: "Now a channel-time cluster is found from 0.33 s untill 0.52 s in which p < 0.05."

hi Roemer, this issue came up this week when the test_tutorial_eventrelatedstatistics failed exactly because of the same reason. If I remember well, Jorn fixed it. The problem was that the p value is close to 0.05, so it sometimes significant, sometimes not. Depends on the randomization. So, if you run the tutorial script again (or a few times), it will be significant again ;). If it won't, then there is another problem. Lilla

Ah, of course. I think we also discussed it some time ago or so. Right'o, bug invalid :).
