Also, connectivity and hub analyses showed that the somatomotor, ventral attention, and visual networks are the most densely-connected brain areas in both sessions, respectively, with the first being more active in the evening session and the two latter in the morning session.

To learn how cognition is implemented in the brain, we must build computational models that can perform cognitive tasks, and test such models with brain and behavioral experiments.

Spatial sparse coding algorithms ($L1$ Regularized Learning and K-SVD) would impose local specialization and a discouragement of multitasking, where the total observed activity in a single voxel originates from a restricted number of possible brain networks.
