خلاصه	Multivariate Pattern Analysis (MVPA) is a machine learning approach to fMRI that decodes cognitive states, stimuli, or behavior from whole-brain spatial patterns of neural activity. Pioneered by Haxby and colleagues in 2001, MVPA treats fMRI as a classification problem: can a trained decoder predict what a person is perceiving or thinking based solely on their brain activity pattern?	Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA) is a framework for comparing representational geometry across brain regions, computational models, and behavioral measures. Introduced by Kriegeskorte and colleagues in 2008, RSA measures how similarly a brain region represents different stimuli or concepts by examining pairwise similarity structure rather than absolute activity patterns.
