Abstract
Predictive modeling and dimensionality reduction of functional neuroimaging data have provided rich information about the representations and functional architectures of the human brain. While these approaches have been effective in many cases, we will discuss how neglecting the internal dynamics of the brain (e.g., spontaneous activity, global dynamics, effective connectivity) and its underlying computational principles may hinder our progress in understanding and modeling brain functions. By reexamining evidence from our previous and ongoing work, we will propose new hypotheses and directions for research that consider both internal dynamics and the computational principles that may govern brain processes.
