bogus
fuggggggggg

40000 studies and no one bothered to check the software?
Critical software should be open source and peer reviewed.
A lot of fMRI always seemed like bullshit designed to sell pop sci rubbish.
Woops.

this is like that time when someone came up with a novel way in health sciences to estimate the area under a curve and it got cited in like a 100 papers when it's just HS calculus.

How does this happen? Holy fuck how does this happen?
Whoever developed the fucking thing I suppose were given the budget to test this a million times so how come they never caught this?
And after that test stage, isn't software supposed to enter a "useful testing" phase where the software is used but every result is then double checked manually to be sure it aligns with the truth?
What kind of fucking amateur did this? Don't tell me they hired computer scientists because man oh man, they got what they deserved.
Epic
The same as lobotomy.
Not only do they not have an underlying theory and model, but even the software to spit out masses of data is corrupt.

She "discovered" the trapezoidal rule 2000 years too late and had the audacity to call it "Tai's Mathematical Model" after herself.

The same people who wrote the software own the most prestigeous journal. The owners of the journal get to decide what gets published in said journal. Which is what people in the field get to read. Calculate the rest with your buttocks.

eh, I would say most serious biologists/doctors have been sceptical of fMRI for a long time

I bet the bitch thinks she is a mathematician now.

shit get it together tyrone
