Reply to Chen et al.: Parametric methods for cluster inference perform worse for two-sided t-tests

Anders Eklund, Hans Knutsson, Thomas E. Nichols

One-sided t-tests are commonly used in the neuroimaging field, but two-sided tests should be the default unless a researcher has a strong reason for using a one-sided test. Here we…
