It's worth paying attention to this line of research. It kind of went nowhere for a long time, but with increased spatial and temporal resolution of brain imaging and the new optical recording & re-triggering tricks described in the article, it might all come within reach soon. There is also fascinating work on probing the mechanisms of cognition. Precise timing analysis combined with fMRI is surprisingly powerful.
