Abstract:

Voxel-wise analyses are common methods for processing fMRI data. Because of the large number of hypotheses involved, finding an activation threshold is a multiple-comparisons problem. Bonferroni comparisons and cluster-based thresholding are frequently used for this purpose. We propose using a modification of a procedure that controls the proportion of false positives among the voxels declared to be activated, namely the False Discovery Rate (FDR).
