Cognitive neuroscience has traditionally focused on simple tasks, presented sparsely and
using abstract stimuli. While this approach has yielded fundamental insights into functional …

Two ongoing movements in human cognitive neuroscience have researchers shifting focus
from group-level inferences to characterizing single subjects, and complementing tightly …

Identifying brain biomarkers of disease risk is a growing priority in neuroscience. The ability
to identify meaningful biomarkers is limited by measurement reliability; unreliable measures …

Identifying the functional specialization of the brain has moved from using cognitive tasks
and resting state to using ecological relevant, naturalistic movies. We leveraged a large …

Using movies and narratives as naturalistic stimuli in human neuroimaging studies has
yielded significant advances in understanding of cognitive and emotional functions. The …

The “Narratives” collection aggregates a variety of functional MRI datasets collected while
human subjects listened to naturalistic spoken stories. The current release includes 345 …

Humans require a shared conceptualization of others' emotions for adaptive social
functioning. A concept is a mental blueprint that gives our brains parameters for predicting …

fMRI has considerable potential as a translational tool for understanding risk, prioritizing
interventions, and improving the treatment of brain disorders. However, recent studies have …

As evidenced by the present special issue, movie fMRI is emerging as a powerful tool for
exploring brain function and characterizing its variation across individuals. Here, we provide …

Depression is a highly heterogeneous syndrome that bears only modest correlations with its
biological substrates, motivating a renewed interest in rethinking our approach to …
