Workbench Command is a set of command-line tools that can be used to perform simple and complex operations within Connectome Workbench.
DO TFCE ON A VOLUME FILE
wb_command -volume-tfce
<volume-in> - the volume to run TFCE on
<volume-out> - output - the output volume
[-presmooth] - smooth the volume before running TFCE
<kernel> - the size of the gaussian smoothing kernel in mm, as sigma
by default
[-fwhm] - smoothing kernel size is FWHM, not sigma
[-roi] - select a region of interest to run TFCE on
<roi-volume> - the area to run TFCE on, as a volume
[-parameters] - set parameters for TFCE integral
<E> - exponent for cluster volume (default 0.5)
<H> - exponent for threshold value (default 2.0)
[-subvolume] - select a single subvolume
<subvolume> - the subvolume number or name
This command does not do any statistical analysis. Please use something
like PALM if you are just trying to do statistics on your data.
Threshold-free cluster enhancement is a method to increase the relative
value of regions that would form clusters in a standard thresholding
test. This is accomplished by evaluating the integral of:
e(h, p)^E * h^H * dh
at each voxel p, where h ranges from 0 to the maximum value in the data,
and e(h, p) is the extent of the cluster containing voxel p at threshold
h. Negative values are similarly enhanced by negating the data, running
the same process, and negating the result.
This method is explained in: Smith SM, Nichols TE., "Threshold-free
cluster enhancement: addressing problems of smoothing, threshold
dependence and localisation in cluster inference." Neuroimage. 2009 Jan
