voxels

While scans cannot actually look at the firing of groups of neurons (called voxels), it does report changes in blood flow that signal activity in particular brain areas, Monti explained.

They then divide the images from the scans into cubes called voxels, which can each contain millions of neurons, and attempt to correlate the activity of particular voxels with emotional changes reported by the volunteers.

As is typical in fMRI studies, researchers divided up the brain into tiny cube-shaped regions called voxels and looked for activation within regions they believed were key to the behavior.

Still pretty cool and like many others have mentioned that these are technically "voxels" but they really are just another form of pixel.

The grid is made up of small cubes called "voxels," and each voxel has a specific address.

Levine and his team fabricated, and then scanned, 314 round objects with systematic variations in size and shape, creating 3-D images built of "voxels" used to calculate its volume.

While pouring syrup on your Eggo waffles, you note that you missed a few voxels.

The tables, expressed through a process known as "parametric modeling" after the set of initial parameters established within the software, have a progressively diminishing set of voxels, as if their resolution were increasing and they were coming into sharper focus; it's a process Laarman compares to the historical pixel evolution of the Super Mario character from video games: from crude, blocky abstraction to crisp high-res rendering.

And usually when researchers make claims about brain activation, they are talking about several voxels clumped together.
