What fMRI debacle?

I remembered hearing about it. Turns out there was this published in 2016 which I'm pretty sure was the issue I heard about. https://www.vice.com/en/article/fmri-scanner-study-flawed-pnas-anders-eklund/

As to whether anything more came of this I'm not sure.

Wow I hadn't heard of this, but at least the article shows that they were fixing some of this stuff back in 2015. Hopefully by now those bugs have been ironed out. Very interesting, thank you
