-
-### Immediate Next Steps (Week 12: TFCE Implementation)
-
-#### Research Phase
-1. Study Smith & Nichols (2009) TFCE paper
-2. Examine FSL randomise source code for TFCE implementation
-3. Review PSEUDOCODE.md for FSL-compatible TFCE algorithms
-4. Create detailed implementation plan
-
-#### Implementation Phase (Following TDD)
-1. **Create TFCE module structure**
-   - `src/accelperm/core/tfce.py` 
-   - Define TFCE class and interface
-   - Write failing tests first (RED phase)
-
-2. **Implement basic TFCE algorithm**
-   - Threshold stepping with configurable dh parameter
-   - Connected component labeling for cluster detection
-   - Height (H) and extent (E) weighting calculations
-   - Implement minimal code to pass tests (GREEN phase)
-
-3. **Optimize and integrate**
-   - GPU optimization for parallel threshold iterations
-   - Memory optimization for large statistical maps
-   - Integration with existing correction framework
-   - Refactor for performance while maintaining tests (REFACTOR phase)
-
-4. **Validation and testing**
-   - Compare outputs with FSL randomise TFCE results
-   - Test on known datasets for statistical accuracy
-   - Comprehensive unit tests for edge cases
-   - Performance benchmarking
-
-#### Technical Considerations
-- **TFCE Algorithm**: Threshold-free approach avoiding arbitrary thresholds
-- **Mathematical Formula**: TFCE(h) = ∫[0→h] e(h')^E × h'^H dh'
-- **Key Parameters**: 
-  - dh: threshold step size (typically 0.1)
-  - E: extent exponent (typically 0.5)  
-  - H: height exponent (typically 2.0)
-- **Performance**: Critical to optimize for large neuroimaging datasets
-
-### Performance and Technical Notes
-
-#### Current State
-- MPS backend functional but not optimized for speed
-- CPU-GPU data transfers still present performance bottleneck
-- Chunking system prevents memory issues on large datasets
-- Statistical accuracy prioritized over performance (as intended)
-
-#### Architecture Decisions Made
-1. **Correction Integration**: Seamlessly integrated with existing CLI and backend system
-2. **Statistical Accuracy**: All corrections follow established neuroimaging standards
-3. **Extensibility**: Abstract base class pattern allows easy addition of new correction methods
-4. **User Experience**: Automatic fallback warnings guide users to appropriate methods
