The whole point about the paper referenced above is that they are
collecting (in a large number of cases) data that is just random noise.
Agreed that they could be random noise, but it could also be related to
protein production which is related to nerve cell firings and increase
oxygen consumption. I am of the opinion that a high activity area does not
mean this is where a particular signal is being processed or created.
Example:

Notice the interference pattern projected on the back of the wall. The
pattern is a holographic reading. Nerve cells are not like photo graphic
plates were a positive picture generates a negative picture. They are more
like a saxophone. The resonance from a vibrating reed causes sound to
reverberate in chambers. So if you did a "brain scan" of a saxophone you
may miss the importance of the reed and air flow in making the resonance
sounds. In my opinion the areas of the brain that are not firing are more
important than those that are. How else can you explain low brain activity
for a master chess player and massive brain firings for a novice chess
player.
To know means less neurological work.
