Abstract

Our methods and models, calculations and cautions are relevant to brain science only when coupled with the principles and current state of neuroscientific knowledge and its underlying physics, chemistry and clinical utility. Increasing numbers of technical scientists interested in contributing their talents to brain science are taking the time and effort to learn its fundamental concepts and latest results, and many neuroscientists are becoming more familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of technical methods, working together to design and conduct the best studies that are scientifically possible.
