Yes. Check out an article in Science about a year ago. The last author was
Kamil Ugurbil, from the U. Minnesota group. They used fMRI to observe solving a
pegboard problem versus simply moving pegs in a simple algorithmic fashion.
Can't remember any more than than, I'm affraid. There are probably many other
related papers. Do a lit. search using the keywords "NMR" or "MRI", then try "functional" and then "cognitive".
