Linear transform model (MRI)

<h2 id="debate">Debate</h2>
<p>The linear transform model is a common and widespread assumption used in the interpretation of fMRI studies.  However, some scientists suggest reasons exist to remain sceptical. <a href="/facts/David_Heeger/Icub1M2c">Heeger</a> and Ress, in a review of fMRI and its relation to neuronal activity, argue that it is a reasonable and useful approximation for local neural activity "for some recording sites, in some brain areas, using certain experimental protocols", but it is not under other circumstances.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a>
