What resolves this contention: Whether large-scale brain function is dominated by geometric eigenmodes vs connectome-defined eigenmodes — Active controversy in 2023–2024; resolution depends on choice of basis normalization, fitting metric, and connectome construction. Treat as open. / Pang et al. argue that the dominant modes shaping cortical activity are geometric (cortical surface) eigenmodes, outperforming connectome-derived bases for reconstructing fMRI dynamics across many tasks and resting state. / A commentary on Pang et al. argues that connectome eigenmodes can match or surpass geometric eigenmodes when the connectome is appropriately weighted/normalized, contesting the claim that geometry alone primarily explains brain dynamics.
