This dissertation advances a novel philosophical account of the relationship between brain mapping and cognitive theorizing in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) research, and concludes that at this stage of scientific development, fMRI research should focus on articulating and testing new bridging assumptions rather than testing psychological theories.

Brain imaging studies of reasoning, comparing deductive and inductive arguments, comparing meaningful versus non-meaningful material, investigating hemispheric localization, and comparing conditional and relational arguments, are assessed in light of the method of forward inference.

Three trends are described that increase precisely this relevance of brain mapping, isolating neural markers of information processing steps to better understand complex tasks and psychological phenomena through probabilistic reverse inference, and using brain activity to predict subsequent behavior.
Mixtures and Psychological Inference with Resting State fMRI
- Psychology, BiologyThe British Journal for the Philosophy of Science

It is argued that seemingly key features of resting state functional connectivity networks may be artifacts resulting from sampling a ‘mixture distribution’ of diverse brain networks active at different times during the scan.

These results further support the proposal that different subregions of the prefrontal cortex subserve different functions during episodic retrieval, and are discussed in relation to a monitoring process, which operates when familiarity levels are close to response criterion and is associated with nonconfident judgements, and a recollective process which isassociated with the confident recognition of old words.

It is suggested that the responses of different brain regions do dissociate according to the phenomenology associated with memory retrieval, as seen in hemodynamic responses associated with both studying and recognizing words.
