The idea of fMRI as the new phrenology has been promoted by several
skeptics of late.
More important is an article for which I lack the ref at hand, which
reported that when both scientists AND everyday people read about
some finding with support from fMRI both groups gave the finding
more credence, even though it did not merit it.
So the concern for me becomes one that too many people are now
believing that if there is "a" (perhaps one and only, single)
publication based on fMRI, then whatever the conclusion, it must be
true, because it is backed by "scientific evidence." Sigh.

This item on the (until now, little-talked-about)
shortcomings of fMRI will be of interest to many, I
