Working memory (WM) was one of the first cognitive processes studied with functional magnetic resonance imaging. With now over 20 years of studies on WM, each study with tiny sample sizes, there is a need for meta-analysis to identify the…
In regression-based analyses of group-level neuroimage data researchers typically fit a series of marginal general linear models to image outcomes at each spatially-referenced pixel. Spatial regularization of effects of interest is usually…
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a neuroimaging technique known for its ability to capture brain activity non-invasively and at fine spatial resolution (2-3mm). Cortical surface fMRI (cs-fMRI) is a recent development of fMRI…
The neural activity in the visual processing is influenced by both external stimuli and internal brain states. Ideally, a neural predictive model should account for both of them. Currently, there are no dynamic encoding models that…
Mental imagery refers to percept-like experiences in the absence of sensory input. Brain imaging studies suggest common, modality-specific, neural correlates imagery and perception. We associated abstract visual stimuli with either visually…

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) enables indirect detection of brain activity changes via the blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal. Conventional analysis methods mainly rely on the real-valued magnitude of these signals.…
