What reliability can and cannot tell us about pain report and pain neuroimaging.
In this issue of PAIN , Letzen et al. examine the test–retest reliability of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) connectivity (fcMRI) measures and self-reported pain during pain stimulation and show that fcMRI measures are less reliable than self-reported pain. This study is a valuable endeavor, and as we move toward developing and using neuroimaging-based biomarkers for clinical purpo...
متن کاملWhat behaviourism can (and cannot) tell us about brain imaging
Robert Shulman belongs to a rare breed. On the one hand, he is a true pioneer of MRI, a technology that has galvanised cognitive neuroscience by allowing researchers to trace the flux of metabolic activity in the living brain under diverse experimental conditions. On the other, he is a staunch behaviourist who believes that terms like ‘attention’ and ‘working memory’ should be expunged from sci...
متن کاملWhat artifice can and cannot tell us about animal behavior
Artifice-the manipulation of social and environmental stimuli-is fundamental to research in animal behavior. State-of-the-art techniques have been developed to generate and present complex visual stimuli. These techniques have unique strengths and limitations. However, many of the issues with synthetic animation and virtual reality are common to playback experiments in general, including those ...
متن کاملBeyond phrenology: what can neuroimaging tell us about distributed circuitry?
Unsupervised models of how the brain identifies and categorizes the causes of its sensory input can be divided into two classes: those that minimize the mutual information (i.e., redundancy) among evoked responses and those that minimize the prediction error. Although these models have the same goal, the way that goal is attained, and the functional architectures required, are fundamentally dif...
متن کاملWhat neurobiology cannot tell us about addiction.
Molecular neurobiological studies have yielded enormous amounts of valuable information about neuronal response mechanisms and their adaptive changes. However, in relation to addiction this information is of limited value because almost every cell function appears to be involved. Thus it tells us only that neurons adapt to 'addictive drugs' as they do to all sorts of other functional disturbanc...
