Area of Science:

Cognitive Neuroscience
Neuroimaging Analysis

Background:

Multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA), or brain decoding, is standard for fMRI.
Recently applied to time series neuroimaging (MEG, EEG) for cognitive neuroscience.
These methods are crucial for brain-computer interfaces.

Purpose of the Study:

Provide a tutorial review of time series decoding options.
Inform future cognitive neuroscience studies using dynamic brain activation patterns.
Illustrate the impact of analysis pipeline choices on experimental results.

Main Methods:

Demonstrate effects of preprocessing choices (dimensionality reduction, subsampling, trial averaging).
Illustrate impact of decoding choices (classifier selection, cross-validation design).
Utilize example MEG data for analysis pipeline illustrations.

Main Results:

Preprocessing and decoding decisions significantly affect experimental outcomes.
Analysis pipeline choices influence the ability to decode stimuli or cognitive states over time.
Extensions like representational similarity analysis and temporal generalization are discussed.

Conclusions:

Emphasize the critical impact of methodological choices in time series decoding.
Highlight the importance of careful design and interpretation for time series decoding experiments.
Provide guidance for researchers applying MVPA to dynamic neuroimaging data.
