Our daily life is realized by the complex orchestrations of diverse brain functions, including perception, decision-making, and action. The essential goal of cognitive neuroscience is to reveal the complete representations underlying these functions. Recent studies have characterised perceptual experiences using encoding models. However, few attempts have been made to build a quantitative model describing the cortical organization of multiple active, cognitive processes. Here, we measure brain activity using fMRI, while subjects perform 103 cognitive tasks, and examine cortical representations with two voxel-wise encoding models. A sparse task-type model reveals a hierarchical organization of cognitive tasks, together with their representation in cognitive space and cortical mapping. A cognitive factor model utilizing continuous, metadata-based intermediate features predicts brain activity and decodes tasks, even under novel conditions. Collectively, our results show the usability of quantitative models of cognitive processes, thus providing a framework for the comprehensive cortical organization of human cognition.

Platform for large-scale, automated synthesis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data extracted from published articles. It''s a website wrapped around a set of open-source Python and JavaScript packages. Neurosynth lets you run crude but useful analyses of fMRI data on a very large scale. You can: * Interactively visualize the results of over 3,000 term-based meta-analyses * Select specific locations in the human brain and view associated terms * Browse through the nearly 10,000 studies in the database Their ultimate goal is to enable dynamic real-time analysis, so that you''ll be able to select foci, tables, or entire studies for analysis and run a full-blown meta-analysis without leaving your browser. You''ll also be able to do things like upload entirely new images and obtain probabilistic estimates of the cognitive states most likely to be associated with the image.
View all literature mentionsSoftware package for analysis of brain imaging data sequences. Sequences can be a series of images from different cohorts, or time-series from same subject. Current release is designed for analysis of fMRI, PET, SPECT, EEG and MEG.
