**Cognitive Load Scoring** maps predicted fMRI activations onto four neurocognitive dimensions
using HCP MMP1.0 ROI groupings:
- **Visual Complexity**: V1-V4, MT, MST, FFC, VVC (ventral & dorsal visual streams)
- **Auditory Demand**: A1, belt areas, STS (auditory cortex + association areas)
- **Language Processing**: Areas 44/45 (Broca's), TPOJ (Wernicke's), STV, PSL (perisylvian language network)
- **Executive Load**: dlPFC (area 46), ACC, FEF (frontoparietal control network)
Each dimension score is the mean absolute activation across its ROIs, normalized by the
median activation across all vertices (baseline). Scores are clipped to [0, 1].
**Confidence bands** on the timeline are computed via bootstrap resampling of vertices
within each dimension's ROI group (50 resamples, 95% CI).
**Limitations**: The ROI-to-dimension mapping is based on established functional neuroanatomy
but is not exhaustive. Cognitive load is a multidimensional construct that cannot be fully
captured by fMRI activation alone. These scores should be interpreted as relative measures,
not absolute cognitive load values.
