The future of FMRI connectivity

“FMRI connectivity” encompasses many areas of research, including resting-state networks, biophysical modelling of task-FMRI data and bottom-up simulation of multiple individual neurons interacting with each other. In this brief paper I discuss several outstanding areas that I believe will see exciting developments in the next few years, in particular concentrating on how I think the currently separate approaches will increasingly need to take advantage of each others' respective complementarities.
