More detail: the high sample sizes needed to get consistent results for fMRI seem to be due to high between-subject variability. Yet this is observed on basic cognitive tasks that have consistent behavioral results (e.g. N-Back). So similar behavior belies neural diversity.

This is something physiologists have been documenting for a long time (especially Eve Marder and colleagues: https://www.nature.com/articles/nrn1949 …).

So maybe averaging over brains isn't such a great idea. Moreover, maybe the idea of a 'depressed brain' or a 'schizophrenic brain' is silly/foolish/Quixotic. When will neuroscientists start thinking critically about the fact that nervous systems are designed to become unique?
