摘要：Neuroimaging tools (MRI, PET, EEG and MEG) have been widely used within the scientific community for more than four decades. Beyond its medical use, imagery has become a complementary approach to many research areas, as it is the case for neuropsychology. Nowadays, however, whether imagery has been contributing to our understanding of how human's mind generates behaviours and thoughts remains under debate. Notably, it has been argued that neuroimaging ( e.g. fMRI) provided insights about the brain localisation of human behavioural processes rather than informing into how these processes were implemented. On December 1st of 2017, the French Language Society of Neuropsychology organised a debate with Bernard Laurent (Saint-Etienne) and Martial Van der Linden (Liege and Geneva) that aimed at shedding light on this controversial topic. The debate was based on a list of items to be discussed. Through an overview of his own researches, each speaker discussed on the relevance of using neuroimaging as a mean to understand origins of our behaviour. Bernard Laurent explained how imagery tools have grown up our theoretical and clinical knowledge of cognition. In contrast, some limitations of the current use of neuroimaging were noted by Martial Van der Linden. This article sums up the points raised in the debate.
