Sarah Brosnan (GSU, Psychology) will present some of her fascinating work on inequity and prosocial behavior, and Andrea Scarantino (GSU, Philosophy) will comment.

Title: "On the methodological foundations of fmri studies: What can differential BOLD activation REALLY tell you?"
Fmri studies are all the rage. But are they systematically misinterpreted or overinterpreted in contemporary neurobiology? What scientific inferences are legitimate from the evidence of differential BOLD activation?
