Neuroimaging meta-analysis is an area of growing interest in statistics. The special characteristics of neuroimaging data render classical meta-analysis methods inapplicable and therefore new methods have been developed. We review existing methodologies, explaining the benefits and drawbacks of each. A demonstration on a real dataset of emotion studies is included. We discuss some still-open problems in the field to highlight the need for future research.
神经影像学荟萃分析是统计学中一个越来越受关注的领域。神经影像学数据的特殊特征使得经典的荟萃分析方法不适用,因此已经开发了新的方法。我们回顾了现有的方法,解释了每种方法的优缺点。其中包括对一个真实情感研究数据集的演示。我们讨论了该领域一些仍未解决的问题,以突出未来研究的必要性。
