Probabilistic Threshold-free Cluster Enhancement

Welcome to the wiki pages of pTFCE, developed and maintained by the Predictive Neuroimagiong Laboratory (PNI-lab) of the University Hospital Essen, Germany.

News

New R-package release 0.2.2, with a small bugfix (fixing NaN values at low Z-scores on imgages with low-smoothness).

From 01.01.2020, the maintanence and developement of pTFCE will be continued in the recently established Predictive Neuroimagiong Laboratory (PNI-lab), lead by Tamas Spisak.

Check out this thread on applying pTFCE on both side of your Z-score map.

v0.2.0 available for both the R-package and the SPM Toolbox. It features a speed performance patch: pTFCE is now almost twice as fast!

Since the start, 700 unique visitors, >1000 visits and a lot of e-mails. Thanks for all your interest!

Smoothness estimation is now possible based on 4D residual data

pTFCE (probabilistic TFCE) is a cluster-enahncement method to improve detectability of neuroimaging signal. It performs topology-based belief boosting by integrating cluster information into voxel-wise statistical inference.
