Multiple testing corrections, nonparametric methods, and random field theory

Neuroimage. 2012 Aug 15;62(2):811-5. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2012.04.014. Epub 2012 Apr 12.

Abstract

I provide a selective review of the literature on the multiple testing problem in fMRI. By drawing connections with the older modalities, PET in particular, and how software implementations have tracked (or lagged behind) theoretical developments, my narrative aims to give the methodological researcher a historical perspective on this important aspect of fMRI data analysis.
