This review covers functional neuroimaging (FNI) analysis methods, emphasizing their assumptions and limitations. Understanding these is crucial for accurate interpretation of brain activity in humans.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Functional neuroimaging (FNI) enables studying human cognitive functions in vivo.
  • Analysis of FNI data is complex, with various methods available.
  • No single method is optimal for all FNI data analysis scenarios.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common methods for analyzing functional neuroimaging data.
  • To highlight the assumptions, limitations, and applicability of these methods.
  • To guide researchers in selecting appropriate analytical approaches for valid statistical inference.

Main Methods:

  • Overview of non-inferential descriptive methods for model selection and assumption verification.
  • Discussion of common statistical models including global normalization, univariate, multivariate, and Bayesian approaches.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Exploration of methods for assessing functional and effective connectivity.

    • Main Results:

    • Multiple analytical methods exist for FNI data, each with specific strengths and weaknesses.
    • Proper model selection is essential for the validity of statistical inference in FNI.
    • Understanding method limitations is key to accurate interpretation of FNI results.

    Conclusions:

    • Researchers must carefully consider the assumptions and limitations of chosen FNI analysis techniques.
    • Optimal use of FNI methods requires knowledge of their applicability and potential pitfalls.
    • This review provides foundational knowledge for selecting and applying FNI analysis methods effectively.
