Brain activation during cognitive control tasks differs substantially between people but is reliable within individuals.

ABSTRACT: The neural organization of cognitive control has been extensively studied using neuroimaging methods, but this organization is still not well understood. We argue that two factors may have contributed to this elusiveness. First, most previous research has relied on group-averaged results, which may provide a misleading representation of individual brains. Second, most fMRI studies study the brain only under a limited number of conditions, making it challenging to provide fine-grained distinctions in the functions associated with specific regions. Recent precision neuroimaging approaches have demonstrated substantial promise in furthering understanding of the human brain through repeated sampling of individual participants. However, most precision imaging work still relies on resting-state
