Abstract Synopsis

  • Naturalistic experimental paradigms in neuroimaging challenge the effectiveness of highly controlled experiments, revealing that models may not apply outside lab settings.
  • Historically, there has been skepticism about nonnaturalistic experiments in psychology, highlighting the brain's adaptation to complex real-world scenarios.
  • Emphasizing naturalistic approaches alongside advancements in machine learning can enhance our understanding of brain and behavior beyond laboratory confines.
