Statistical significance is a binary phenomenon, and there is no such thing as "high statistical significance."

That's like claiming that a result is "extremely true" because the contradiction you get by assuming it is "absolutely crazy".

Significance is not and never has been an in indicator of the probability of a theory, It's only an indication that you've passed the an extremely low threshold to make a claim (i.e. your claim is not plima facie absurd).

Yeah, like the many people dead or wounded due to gang violence fueled by the street drug trade, or the many people addicted to drugs who can't get medical or treatment help because they will get arrested or simply ignored, the people dying in Afghanistan and Iraq due to terrorist groups funded largely by the heroin trade.

I could go on, but you're an idiot if you think the current US policy toward narcotics doesn't cause starving, dying and suffering.

People who think caring about drug policy is for bong-toting fratboys sicken me.

I notice in myself that music can distract or enhance concentration depending on music style

False. The empirical studies indicate that many people believe something along these lines (or more generally, "I work better when I'm multitasking"), but it's just not true. Although it *is* true that many people are addicted to being interrupted all the time and crave it in the form of multitasking. It takes time to get used to concentrating on a single task, but once you do, you're noticeably more efficient.

If the submitter is using music to isolate him/herself from the talking, they find a better means. In my experience neither ear muffs nor earplugs alone are good enough to drown out talking, but both in combination work. Noise-cancelling headphones will not work

I wasn't attacking the fMRI community, I was just replying to the portion of your original post that I quoted.

I don't know what standard practice in fMRI research is as far as bonferonni corrections so I can't comment on that. I wasn't defending the claim that such voxels don't exist. Technically, all comparisons are significantly different from 0, so the probability that voxels passing any arbitrary criterion is 100% given sufficiently precise measuring devices.
