Are you at #OHBM2024? Come check out my talk on Localized Cluster Enhancement - TFCE revisited with valid error control, in the oral session on advanced statistical methods on Wednesday at 11.30. Or poster 1871, on Wednesday/Thursday to see how to improve the validity of TFCE (1)

If you're not interested in the null hypothesis of zero effect then you shouldn't be testing it. But then you have to specify a minimum effect size of interest. If you can't do that maybe you should be testing the null.
Ever noticed how neuroimaging papers love flaunting t, Z, or p values with color bars and tables but rarely show actual effect magnitudes? Itโs like physicists talking about the speed of light and just giving a p-valueโgreat for keeping things mysterious!

@PessoaBrain If that's the case then it substantially limits the Bayesian's ability to criticise the null hypothesis testing framework. I.e. if you can't say when an effect is too small to matter then you shouldn't have a problem with testing the null (directionally).

@benedikt_sun @afni_pt @sNeuroble @CyrilRPernet @ten_photos @AGerlachPhD Right but that's my point, the type of see-through thresholding that @afni_pt is advocating cannot distinguish signal from noise. And I'm not just talking about the global null but also local nulls around the brain.

@afni_pt @sNeuroble @benedikt_sun @CyrilRPernet @ten_photos @AGerlachPhD But I come back to my earlier question which is what would you plot if you just have smooth noise? (Something you can't actually know). The plots would be very similar it would seem meaning that these plots can be rather misleading! And thus this does not count as evidence.

@afni_pt @sNeuroble @benedikt_sun @CyrilRPernet @ten_photos @AGerlachPhD What do you mean by "evidence of the results" that sounds good but I don't think it's well defined. You have no probabilistic guarantees on those findings.

@edwinhayward The libdems got about 10 percent of the vote and just over 10 percent of the seats so their seats are basically what they would have got under proportional representation. So I don't see why he shouldn't be celebrating.

@CyrilRPernet @benedikt_sun @afni_pt @ten_photos @AGerlachPhD @sNeuroble Thanks for the reference, it looks interesting! I'll give it a proper read when I have a chance a bit later.

@benedikt_sun @afni_pt So we should have a pre-print on how to do this in neuroimaging coming out at the end of the summer hopefully. However to see the idea in a different context (2D climate data) which has the same principles see e.g. this reference:
