AFNI Message Board

Dear AFNI users-

We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:

https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov

Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.

The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.

Sincerely, AFNI HQ

Leaving modeling issues aside, I don't think that the current approach of hiding everything below the threshold is healthy. Instead of varying the voxel-wise p-value, I suggest that you fix the voxel-wise p-value (whatever is currently considered acceptable) and find the clusters with varying cluster-level FWE rates (alpha) such as 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, etc. Then you can report those clusters of interest with an alpha value above but still reasonably close to 0.05. Let go of the obsession with the p-value, and don't treat the watermark of 0.05 as something carved in stone.
