Is neuroimaging measuring information in the brain?

“Is neuroimaging measuring information in the brain?” https://t.co/pZ91rJRdWa

@KordingLab I had a positive experience writing about the limitations of neuroimaging to measure information. Suspect it might have been harder to publish in a neuroscience rather than a psychology journal though. Suspect we also got lucky with receptive r

@KordingLab @leedewit (2016) made the distinction between the “neuroscientist” as a decoder and the “brain” as a decoder. https://t.co/96fiWK5R3c

@aidanhorner @hugospiers @CeliaHeyes We can decode lots of things from the brain that might not be functionally relevant for behaviour. We went further and argue unless we model how signals we decode might be used, we should be more careful in calling thos

@WiringTheBrain I have argued we need a clearer conception of what information is, and what it would mean to measure it in the brain: https://t.co/WG1cpbKXS6

Cool to see 3 years on, my #OA theoretical review (with David, Vebjørn & Johan) has been downloaded 10K times... but I still think a lot of research continues to assume that we as external observers can directly measure information used by the brain...

"Much modern cognitive neuroscience implicitly focuses on the question of how we can interpret the activations we record in the brain (experimenter-as-receiver), rather than on the core question of how the rest of the brain can interpret those activations"

It's common to claim one has found the neural 'code' for X. But codes need interpreters. This interesting paper offers a new formulation of an old problem, arguing that there's a widespread 'experimenter-as-receiver' assumption in neuroimaging research:
