We performed Monte Carlo Simulations to show that the risk for type I errors decreases if a minimum overlap between the individual results is set in addition to the significance of the group results. The activation maps of a real fMRI experiment showed that the combination of a weighted overlap map threshold in combination with a voxel significance threshold seems to lead to less type II errors compared to applying a family wise error (FWE) correction.
