This chapter focuses on the confirmation, refutation, and evidence of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, and discusses the application of neuroimaging techniques to various fields, including cognitive sciences. It addresses the question of the role of neuroimaging data in providing informative evidence regarding hypotheses in cognitive science and explains differences in data, high-level null hypotheses, and ways to accommodate null hypotheses. Finally, the chapter looks into the scope of neuroimaging data in the cognitive sciences.Less

This chapter focuses on the contribution and goals of functional neuroimaging. It presents a detailed discussion on the goals of functional neuroimaging, including neuroanatomical localization of cognitive processes, testing current theories of cognition, and neural models. The chapter reviews the work of functional neuroimaging in cognitive science and looks into its progress, and, finally, addresses questions related to functional neuroimaging and cognitive neuroimaging studies.Less
