The authors built quantitative models of human brain activity evoked by more than 100 cognitive tasks. The models revealed a comprehensive cognitive representational space and its cortical mapping and succeeded in decoding cognitive tasks from brain activity. This research is an extension of their earlier efforts for building encoding and decoding models of visual and semantic representations toward cognitive functions.
