title: [What to do with brain imaging? Old and new territories of a technology].
abstract: During the twentieth century, brain imaging revolutionized neurological practice and research in cognitive neuroscience. More recently, its scope has moved from the former territories to the humanities. After describing this historical dynamic, some issues and controversies related to old and new uses of neuroimaging are recalled, and this new appetite for brain image is questioned.
