The Most Influential Blog Post of 2018...

...is by Peter Bandettini:

Twenty-Six Controversies and Challenges in fMRI

. . .

“In spite of its success – perhaps as a result of its success – [fMRI] has had its share of controversies coincident with methods advancements, new observations, and novel applications. Some controversies have been more contentious than others. Over the years, I’ve been following these controversies and have at times performed research to resolve them or at least better understand them. A good controversy can help to move the field forward as it can focus and motivate groups of people to work on the issue itself, shedding a broader light on the field as these are overcome.”

{the most influential for readers/scholars/scientists with even a passing interest in the brain imaging method known as functional magnetic resonance imaging}

I just finished a new blog post: "Twenty-six Controversies and Challenges in fMRI" summarizing some of the more interesting ones over the years. https://t.co/zf6MrRD6Bo
