Generating and reporting peak and cluster tables for voxel-wise inference in FSL

چکیده
Mass universities analyses, in which a statistical test is performed at each voxel in the brain, is the most widespread approach to analyzing task-evoked functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data. Such analyses identify the brain areas that are significantly activated in response to a given stimulus. In the literature, the significant areas are usually summarised by providing a table, listing, for each significant region, the 3D positions of the local maxima along with corresponding statistical values. This tabular output is provided by all the major as dsa dneuroimaging software packages including SPM, FSL and AFNI. Yet, in the HTML report generated by FSL, peak and cluster tables are only provided for one type of inference (cluster-wise inference) but not when a voxelwise threshold is specified. In this project, we proposed an update for FSL to generate and report peak and cluster tables for voxel-wise inferences.

Cluster-extent based thresholding in fMRI analyses: Pitfalls and recommendations
Cluster-extent based thresholding is currently the most popular method for multiple comparisons correction of statistical maps in neuroimaging studies, due to its high sensitivity to weak and diffuse signals. However, cluster-extent based thresholding provides low spatial specificity; researchers can only infer that there is signal somewhere within a significant cluster and cannot make inferenc...
متن کاملFast and powerful heritability inference for family-based neuroimaging studies
Heritability estimation has become an important tool for imaging genetics studies. The large number of voxel- and vertex-wise measurements in imaging genetics studies presents a challenge both in terms of computational intensity and the need to account for elevated false positive risk because of the multiple testing problem. There is a gap in existing tools, as standard neuroimaging software ca...
متن کاملThreshold-free cluster enhancement: Addressing problems of smoothing, threshold dependence and localisation in cluster inference
Many image enhancement and thresholding techniques make use of spatial neighbourhood information to boost belief in extended areas of signal. The most common such approach in neuroimaging is cluster-based thresholding, which is often more sensitive than voxel-wise thresholding. However, a limitation is the need to define the initial cluster-forming threshold. This threshold is arbitrary, and ye...
متن کاملCharacterization of Early White Matter Damages in Multiple Sclerosis patients with a Clinically Isolated Syndrome: a Tract Based Spatial Statistics Study
Introduction Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been recognized as a sensitive technique for detecting and quantifying pathological changes in lesions and normal appearing white matter (NAWM) [1]. However, it is usually constrained by an operator-dependant selection of brain regions of interest (ROI). With the emergence of the “tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS)” method [2], whole brain stat...
متن کاملInfluence of T1-Weighted Signal Intensity on FSL Voxel-Based Morphometry and FreeSurfer Cortical Thickness.
The effect of T1 signal on FSL voxel-based morphometry modulated GM density and FreeSurfer cortical thickness is explored. The techniques rely on different analyses, but both are commonly used to detect spatial changes in GM. Standard pipelines show FSL voxel-based morphometry is sensitive to T1 signal alterations within a physiologic range, and results can appear discordant between FSL voxel-b...
