- Over the past 40 years, the central goal of cognitive neuroscience has been to interpret neural signals. To do so, it focuses on depicting commonalities between individuals at the population level (Raizada and Connolly, 2012). However, everyone's perception of the world is shaped differently by individual experiences and preferences (Charest et al., 2014; Lee and Geng, 2017); averaging across participants may hide such peculiarities of specific individuals' brains. Indeed, the human brain shows a considerable degree of anatomic and functional variability across individuals. This observation has often frustrated researchers that were looking for homogeneity and uniformity across individuals' brains. [...]
