Reverse inference is not a fallacy per se: Cognitive processes can be inferred from functional imaging data
Hutzler, NeuroImage 84, 2014, 1061-1069. Argues the prevailing view of reverse inference is too pessimistic; proposes a revised formulation adding the task setting as a conditional constraint; shows reverse inference can be highly predictive, illustrated by an example involving estimation, and that it can be estimated from meta-analyses; predictive power can depend on the cognitive process, the region and the task setting.
