NMA is a "cooking class" in compneuro / neuroAI! You won't beckme a master chef, but you'll sure gain knife skills, when you've oversalted, & diff btwn "rare" & "overcooked"! Bootcamp for PhD & beyond.

So maybe rest isnโt a privileged window into intrinsic organization after all.
Functional architecture may be revealed most clearly when the brain is actively engaged.
Preprint: doi.org/10.64898/202...
Curious to hear what people think!
8/8
๐ง Resting-state fMRI is often treated as the gold standard for studying the brainโs intrinsic organization.
But is it actually the best way to estimate functional architecture?
We tested this directly.

"How could any doctor do that? Lie like that? How could they justify it, even to themselves?" She shrugged. "How did they ever justify double-blind trials? A good medical researcher has to care more about the quality of the data than about any one person's life. And if a double-blind trials is good, a triple-blind trial is better. The data is guaranteed to be better, you can see that, can't you? And the more accurately a drug can be assessed, well, perhaps in the long run, the more lives can be saved."
"If a double-blind trials is good, a triple-blind trial is better."
The "triple-blind trial" in Greg Egan's short story "Blood Sisters" raises the ethical problems of double-blind trials (withholding effective treatment, deception) to next level: Don't even tell people they are in a trial.
"You see what you look for, and you look for what you know."
