Intensity of Local Neuronal Activity, Cognitive Response Times, and Other Factors and Conditions

www.biorxiv.org

The functional MRI (fMRI) signal is a proxy for an unobservable neuronal signal, and differences in fMRI signals on cognitive tasks are generally interpreted as reflecting differences in the intensity of local neuronal activity. However, changes in either intensity or duration of neuronal activity can yield identical differences in fMRI signals. When conditions differ in response times (RTs), it is thus impossible to determine whether condition differences in fMRI signals are due to differences in the intensity of neuronal activity or to potentially spurious differences in the duration of neuronal activity. The most common fMRI analysis approach ignores RTs, making it difficult to interpret condition differences that could be driven by RTs and/or intensity. Because differences in response time are one of the most important signals of interest for cognitive psychology, nearly every task of interest for fMRI exhibits RT differences across conditions of interest. This results in a paradox, wherein the signal of interest for the psychologist is a potential confound for the fMRI researcher. We review this longstanding problem, and demonstrate that the failure to address RTs in the fMRI time series model can also lead to spurious correlations at the group level related to RTs or other variables of interest, potentially impacting the interpretation of brain-behavior correlations. We propose a simple approach that remedies this problem by including RT in the fMRI time series model. This model separates condition differences from RT differences, retaining power for detection of unconfounded condition differences while also allowing the identification of RT-related activation. We conclude by highlighting the need for further theoretical development regarding the interpretation of fMRI signals and their relationship to response times. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

The new era... well, "Epoch," rather... begins somewhere shortly post conflict. It entails Humanitarian and green efforts and a mass individual and collective unraveling of the former limiting governor codes in our collective reality. All institutions and beings alike have now the opportunity and responsibility to step into a better way of life. This includes the science used by humankind...very, very much. As such, we see leading scientific groups and scientisits embracing the GREAT MYSTERY WITH ROBUST NEW MODELING. The "Kirlian," and other former techniques for capturing images of the human aura, for example, were stricken by the censormatic pawns, etc... the mind controlled anti-science factions in lab coats with stethoscope draped over shoulder for ..."credibility?" ... etc...and but since then, has re-emerged with even better imaging. Transparency is the key moving forward ... so as to seek objectivity in these new domains of learning... more new and true than ever perhaps.... the technologies must be used to embrace Truth ...not to manipulate or control it for profit, recognition, text book sales, etc. Coincidentally, the new emergent technologies absolutely can and will provide Discernment! Truth is the ultimate objectivity in all its myriad forms and incepts as well the ultimate subjectivity of the individual lens as part and parcel of the essential truth... many paths, one truth...
