An efficient multifunction fMRI localizer for high-level visual, auditory, and cognitive regions in humans.

ABSTRACT: One of the most robust findings in human cognitive neuroscience is the discovery that many regions of the cortex are engaged in distinctive, often very specific, functions. Although these regions are found in approximately the same location in almost all typical participants, their exact location varies from one individual to the next. Thus, the first step in studying these regions is to identify them in each participant individually. Standard functional localizers have been devised to accomplish this goal, but most localizers identify only a few regions. Many important questions in modern neuroscience can only be answered by measuring the responses of multiple cortical regions at the same time. Here, we introduce a new Efficient Multifunction fMRI localizer (EMFL) in which visual and audi
