Locally multivariate approaches to functional brain mapping offer a highly appealing complement to conventional statistics, but require restrictive region-of-interest hypotheses, or, in exhaustive search forms (such as the “searchlight” algorithm; Kriegeskorte et al., 2006), are excessively computer...
