Functional MRI: An Introduction to Methods

The growth of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a tool for studying brain function, as opposed to its more traditional role as a tool for studying brain anatomy and pathology, has been quite remarkable over the past decade. This has been driven in large measure by an appreciation of the considerable potential for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to increase our understanding of how the human brain works, both in the normal and diseased states. FMRI-based research has drawn together a multi-disciplinary community of neuroscientists, clinicians, engineers, physicists, and image analysis specialists focusing on common problems....
