Alright, since I did a quick skim over the article liked by @JonChesterfield and didn't find any discussion of how they calibrated their fMRI machine or if they did any Multiple Comparison Corrections, time to post the obvious: http://prefrontal.org/files/posters/Bennett-Salmon-2009.pdf

fMRI is not a silver bullet, do your due diligence everyone. I'll wait for this to be replicated before I read anything into it.

I have a stupid question, does anything ever actually get replicated?

I mean; I have a graduate degree, and I’m proud of the work and I think it could very practically be replicated… but will it? Probably not.

If you claim to invent cold fusion probably, but for a study about coding brain I can’t see it being even useful to replicate.
