This study introduces a novel Bayesian spatial model for neuroimaging meta-analysis, offering interpretable results beyond typical null hypothesis inferences for consistent brain activation patterns.

Area of Science:

Neuroimaging
Statistical Modeling
Cognitive Neuroscience

Background:

Functional neuroimaging meta-analysis aggregates peak activation coordinates (foci) to identify consistent brain activation areas.
Existing meta-analysis methods primarily offer null hypothesis inferences, lacking interpretable fitted models.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a Bayesian spatial hierarchical model for neuroimaging meta-analysis that provides interpretable fitted models.
To overcome the limitations of traditional methods by offering richer inferences on brain activation patterns.

Main Methods:

Proposed a Bayesian spatial hierarchical model utilizing a marked independent cluster process.
Modeled foci as offspring of latent study center processes, which are themselves offspring of a latent population center process.

The posterior intensity function of the population center process yields inferences on population center locations and inter-study variability.

Main Results:

The model was illustrated using a meta-analysis of 437 studies from 164 publications.
Demonstrated the capability to compare two distinct subpopulations of studies.
Model performance was assessed through sensitivity analyses and simulation studies.

Conclusions:

The proposed Bayesian model enhances neuroimaging meta-analysis by providing interpretable fitted models and detailed inferences on population-level activation centers and study variability.
This approach facilitates a deeper understanding of consistent brain activation patterns across diverse studies and allows for comparative analyses between study subgroups.
