abstract = {In recent neuroimaging studies, threshold-free cluster
enhancement (TFCE) gained popularity as a sophisticated
thresholding method for statistical inference. It was shown
to feature higher sensitivity than the frequently used
approach of controlling the cluster-level family-wise error
(cFWE) and it does not require setting a cluster-forming
threshold at voxel level. Here, we examined the
applicability of TFCE to a widely used method for
coordinate-based neuroimaging meta-analysis, Activation
Likelihood Estimation (ALE), by means of large-scale
simulations. We created over 200,000 artificial
meta-analysis datasets by independently varying the total
number of experiments included and the amount of spatial
convergence across experiments. Next, we applied ALE to all
datasets and compared the performance of TFCE to both
voxel-level and cluster-level FWE correction approaches. All
three multiple-comparison correction methods yielded valid
results, with only about $5\%$ of the significant clusters
being based on spurious convergence, which corresponds to
the nominal level the methods were controlling for. On
average, TFCE's sensitivity was comparable to that of cFWE
correction, but it was slightly worse for a subset of
parameter combinations, even after TFCE parameter
optimization. cFWE yielded the largest significant clusters,
closely followed by TFCE, while voxel-level FWE correction
yielded substantially smaller clusters, showcasing its high
spatial specificity. Given that TFCE does not outperform the
standard cFWE correction but is computationally much more
expensive, we conclude that employing TFCE for ALE cannot be
recommended to the general user.},
