«to'e spofu» is the polar opposite of spofu, so I would expect it to
mean "functional/operational". You may get different nuances by using
«na'e spofu» (nalpo'u) or «na spofu» (narpo'u), though I'm not sure
whether there's a significant difference between nalpo'u and tolpo'u.

Oops, I've overlooked the context. In the context of the Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging technology, it seems that "functional" here means "brain activity", so tolpo'u is not the adequate word indeed. "Brain activity" could be rendered as «besna nuny'akti», I think.

Brain activity is just pruce or fasnu
