Permutation tests and bootstrapping are used to establish significance in evoked-response MEG data

Evidence

Statistical evaluation of specific component differences was accomplished in MATLAB using the multivariate statistic t sum from the permutation test of Blair and Karniski ( 1993 ). Latencies and amplitudes of the additional data set described in the discussion section were evaluated statistically using a bootstrap technique to derive critical t -values (Efron and Tibshirani 1993 ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4703
