How to include studies reporting coordinate ranges instead of peak coordinates?
Hello! 

While collecting data for a meta-analysis, I encountered one study that reporting coordinate ranges instead of peak coordinates for their results. For example, one such significant cluster is reported as (x = -30 to -14, y = -89 to -70, z = -9 to 2). How would you recommend including this study in the meta-analysis? Is it appropriate to take an average of the values in each axis or some other method? 

Thanks so much for your help! 

Best, 
Rebecca

Dear Rebecca

I think that calculating the average makes sense, it approximately corresponds to the center of the cluster.

With best wishes,
