I think the MRI stuff does get overused in psychology. It's use is in showing where biological activity is happening, not as some magic mind-reading device. It's there to see what bits of the brain do what and when, and maybe give us clues to its structure but how far that says what you think or why is debatable. It has its place, but you're pretty right on the money saying robust models without neurological data are better than half-baked ones with it.
