Is There An fMRI Crisis?

The video explains functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a tool used in psychology research to create 3D images of the brain without radiation. It details how fMRI detects brain activity through blood flow and the BOLD signal. Challenges like head motion, image alignment, and brain size differences are discussed, along with the importance of statistical analysis to avoid false positives. The video highlights past software errors that inflated false positives and emphasizes the need for data sharing and study replication. It concludes by advising viewers to consider multiple studies for accurate conclusions.
