Brain storming here...
What do people think would be the ideal experiment to measure functional plasticity with fMRI?
The idea is to have a brain derived metric of an intervention that has physiological meaning.
What would be the metric derived from the fMRI signal? I am looking to go beyond voxel counts of suprathreshold activity. These metrics are based on statistical thresholds and therefore sensitive to thresholds and unmodeled noise. What could be an ideal experimental stimulus and then an ideal analysis?
