1. A computer-implemented method for generating a modified functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scan image, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, a functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scan image, wherein the fMRI scan image includes at least a portion of a subject's brain;
receiving, by the one or more processors, subject data including information about a determined stress or anxiety level of a subject at an assessment time, the assessment time being within a predetermined time period before, during and/or after a capture time of the fMRI scan image;
modifying, by the one or more processors, the fMRI scan image based on the subject data, wherein the modifying the fMRI scan image includes modifying one or more values of brain activity of the fMRI scan image based on the determined stress or anxiety of the subject at the assessment time; and
generating, by the one or more processors, a modified fMRI scan image based on the modified one or more values of brain activity to support interpretation by removing or reducing the determined stress or anxiety from the fMRI scan image.
