Abstract text:	In a recent TICS article, Poldrack [1] offers a highly informative analysis of the use and misuse of ‘reverse inference’ in neuroimaging, a common practice by which the engagement of a particular cognitive process is inferred from the activation of a particular brain region. Using a formal Bayesian analysis framework, Poldrack shows that the usefulness of reverse inference depends on the selectivity of activation in the region of interest (the ratio of process-specific activation to the overall likelihood of activation in that region across all tasks). Here we argue that the usefulness of reverse inference also depends on whether the relevant task characteristics for the region of interest are taken into account.

The Reprint Request service is currently unavailable. The webform interface is not passing on your requests despite saying it has. PDF's of articles are also not available unless specifically linked from the record under the link field. Open Access papers are accessible this way when available. We are not able to fulfill pdf requests due to copyright and contractual restrictions. Inclusion in the Bibliography does not mean that a copy is available, this is foremost a record of the unit's work. Papers marked 'In Press' have not been published so are not available. Books and tests are also not available for copying. These are commerical products and you will need to buy them, or indeed contact your local library service to get a copy. If a record is from a conference and does not show more than one page number then the record/abstract on the page is the complete record. These are mainly a record of participation in a conference, such as a poster or a talk. Some of these records represent literally nothing more than a line.
