Threshold-free cluster enhancement (TFCE) outperforms the cluster-size test (CST) based on random field theory and our recent papers provide two voxelation-corrected CST (v-CST and vn-CST) which also show the clear advantage over other CST as well. However, it’s not clear which one shows better performance for MRI data analysis. This work provides a very careful, fair and thorough evaluation of the powerful statistical methods, which may be particularly appealing for group-level MRI data analysis.
