Opportunities and pitfalls of data contextualization in neuroimaging (opens in new tab)

Understanding the mechanisms of brain function and dysfunction is at the core of the neuroscience mission. However, the field’s grasp of causal relationships between brain properties has been hindered by a focus on single modalities that neglects the complex interplay between the features found at different neural scales. Progress in neuroinformatics and the increasing availability of open datasets have helped overcome this limitation by facilitating the contextualization of brain maps agains...
