Background:

Functional brain mapping relates brain activity to stimulus properties.
Correlated features in naturalistic stimuli complicate traditional brain mapping and statistical analysis.
Existing methods struggle to disentangle overlapping feature influences on neural responses.

Conclusions:

The proposed stacking and structured variance partitioning methods offer a robust framework for brain mapping with correlated features.
These techniques enhance the interpretability of functional brain maps, particularly when using complex stimuli like neural network features.
The developed Python package facilitates the application of these advanced brain mapping techniques in neuroscience research.
