fMRI is lauded as a device that transforms brain sparks into colorful maps, yet it often yields nothing more than bubbles of interpretation at a steep cost. Subjects are confined in metallic tunnels while researchers gaze at red and blue patterns, confidently drafting papers. Few pause to consider that these images might reflect not the brain itself but the fantasies of machines and algorithms. After industrial gongs of noise and lengthy preparation, what emerges is simply a colorful enigma painted by observer bias.
