JALE will create two new folders in your project folder:

Results folder

This folder will contain all relevant resulting files from your ALE analyses

Folder Details

Results/MainEffect/

• Volumes/:
  • Stores thresholded and unthresholded Nifti-Files for all relevant statistics (ALE, Z, TFCE).
• Contribution/:
  • Holds contribution files for MainEffect results. These contribution files allow for detailed analysis of significant clusters of convergence. Please see the Contribution wiki page for more information on the structure of this file.
• NullDistributions/:
  • Stores null distributions computed by non-linear histogram integration and Monte Carlo simulation. These are not human-readable and are only used for quicker recomputation of an effect.
• Figures/:
  • Contains visual representations of results, including statistical maps and plots.

Results/Probabilistic/

• Volumes/:
  • Stores the averaged ALE maps for each probabilistic ALE analysis.
• NullDistributions/:
  • Contains null distributions for the probabilistic ALE. These are not human-readable and are only used for quicker recomputation of an effect.
• Figures/:
  • Contains visual representations of results, such as probability maps and analysis summaries.

Results/Contrast/

• Volumes/:
  • Stores thresholded contrast results for ALE analyses.
• NullDistributions/:
  • Stores null distributions for contrast analysis. These are not human-readable and are only used for quicker recomputation.
• Figures/:
  • Contains visual representations of results, including contrast maps and plots.

Results/BalancedContrast/

• Volumes/:
  • Stores thresholded results for balanced contrast analysis.
• NullDistributions/:
  • Stores null distributions for balanced contrast analysis. These are not human-readable and are only used for quicker recomputation.
• Figures/:
  • Contains visual representations of results, including balanced contrast maps and plots.

Results/MA_Clustering/

• Stores results for MA Clustering analyses.

Logs folder

The logs folder contains text files with output generated by the ALE algorithm. These files are named using the date and time of the analysis run: (Year)(Month)(Day)_(Hour)(Minute).log
