A computational knowledge engine for human neuroscience
Functional neuroimaging has been a mainstay of human neuroscience for the past 25 years. The goal for this research has largely been to understand how activity across brain structures relates to mental constructs and computations. However, interpretation of fMRI data has often occurred within knowledge frameworks crafted by experts, which have the potential to reify historical trends and amplify the subjective biases that limit the replicability…
