Functional Neuroimaging Can Support Causal Claims about Brain Function
Cognitive neuroscientists habitually deny that functional neuroimaging can furnish causal information about the relationship between brain events and behavior. However, imaging studies do provide causal information about those relationships-although not causal certainty. Although popular portrayals of functional neuroimaging tend to attribute too much inferential power to the technique, we shou...

Max Coltheart’s (this issue) starting point is that theories concerning cognitive functions can be expressed solely at the psychological level, that is, with no reference to the physical basis of the psychological processes of interest.
