        Excellent paper from Eric Halgren's lab at Univ of Utah in Salt Lake.  Look at the fMRI 
        movie that shows activation in response

        <i>1) The brain uses a full-employment strategy</i>
      
      
        ,
      
      
        i.e., extensive cortical areas are activated by a task even if they are not necessary for 
        its performance.

        <i>2) Activation is parallel and interdependent</i>
