Online Now: Confronting the connectivity crisis in human M/EEG research
Confronting the connectivity crisis in human M/EEG research
The cognitive neuroscience community using M/EEG has not converged on measures of task-related inter-regional brain connectivity that generalize across tasks and laboratories. We call for community-driven efforts to systematically test and validate connectivity metrics using shared datasets and protocols, aiming to establish robust, replicable frameworks for cognitive and clinical applications.

Together, our results demonstrate that a key mechanism through which the brain distinguishes imagination from reality is by monitoring the activity of mid-level sensory cortex. We hope these findings lay the foundations for future research on a generalised reality monitoring system in the brain 13/N
