Detection of activated regions using searchlights.
fmri.searchlight(spm, alpha = 0.05, radius, minimum.signal = 0,
kind = c("abs", "squared"))
Object with class attributes "fmripvalue" and "fmridata"
voxelwise p-value if exceeding FDR-critical value, 1 otherwise.
voxelsize ratio
data dimension
expected BOLD response for contrast (single stimulus only)

multiple test (over volume) adjusted significance level.
radius of searchlight. Value needs to be larger or equal than 1.
allows to specify a (positive) minimum value for detected signals. If minimum.signal >0 the thresholds are to conservative, this case needs further improvements.
Kind of statistics used for aggregation over search light region.
"abs"
specifies averaging of absolute voxelwise t-statistics
while "squared"
corresponds to averaging of squares of these statistics.

The function computes mean statistics (depending on kind
) over a
searchlight region of radius radius
.
Approximate voxelwise p-values are determined with respect an empirical
(simulated) distribution of the searchlight statistics under the null hypothesis
a central t-distributed spm. Thresholding used FDR
with rate alpha
.
