一句话：用功能连接分析重新审视代码与散文写作的神经关联，弥补孤立分析脑区的不足。
软件工程中的医学影像研究逐渐增多，有望揭示编程活动的神经基础。然而，计算机科学领域已有研究大多将脑区视为彼此独立、孤立分析；但复杂神经活动通常涉及多个脑区之间的协同，这种分析可能忽略重要的神经行为。本文以功能连接为切入点，重新审视代码写作与散文写作之间的关系，关注脑区间的协调模式而非单一区域激活。通过功能连接分析，论文试图更全面地刻画代码与散文写作背后的神经活动，并为后续软件工程神经影像研究提供方法学启示。
Medical imaging studies of software engineering have risen in popularity and may reveal the neural underpinnings of coding activities. To date, however, all studies in computer science venues have treated brain regions independently and in isolation. Since most complex neural activity involves coordination among multiple regions, previous analyses may overlook neural behavior.
