I am assuming that most salmons bought in stores are dead but that particular detail is rather relevant here. Also that had me laughing, what a great move.

Not sure the dead salmon is relevant. That paper is focused on false discovery in FUNCTIONAL MRI. Different can of fish. Most clinical work is structural MRI.

The chances of finding brain activity in a dead salmon are a bit lower than finding it in one that is alive.
