Deductive‐reasoning brain networks: A coordinate‐based meta‐analysis of the neural signatures in deductive reasoning WANG et al.

Abstract

2.2### Meta-analysis algorithm Meta-analysis was carried out using the revised version (Simon B. Eickhoff et al., [brb31853-bib-0021]) of the ALE approach using Ginger ALE 3.0.2 software ([http://brainmap.org/]()) for coordinate-based meta-analysis of neuroimaging results (Laird et al., [brb31853-bib-0047]; Turkeltaub et al., [brb31853-bib-0078]). The key principle behind ALE is to treat the reported foci not as single points, but as centers of three-dimensional Gaussian probability distributions for capturing the spatial uncertainty associated with each focus (Caspers et al., [brb31853-bib-00
