Posterior Probability Maps (PPMs)
Posterior distribution: probability of the effect given the data
mean: size of effect
precision: variability
Two thresholds:
• activation threshold sth : percentage of whole brain mean
signal (physiologically relevant size of effect)
• probability pth that voxels must exceed to be displayed
(e.g. 95%)
Bayesian linear regression:
model selection
Bayes Rule:
normalizing constant
