Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging was the first textbook to provide a true introduction to fMRI—designed with undergraduate students, graduate students, and beginning researchers in mind. Among the changes to the Second Edition are: – Revised MR physics chapters that include parallel conceptual and quantitative paths, allowing students from diverse backgrounds and interests to readily navigate these topics. – Expanded discussion of fMRI data analysis, with separate chapters on standard hypothesis-driven analyses and advanced exploratory analyses. – Expanded coverage of experimental design that includes new approaches to efficient creation of fMRI experiments. – Revised discussion of the physiological basis of fMRI to include recent discoveries about the origins of the BOLD response. – A new Ethics chapter that discusses controversies, ethical and social concerns, and popular interpretations of fMRI research. – Increased coverage of the integration of fMRI with other cognitive neuroscience techniques. – New topics in the Advanced Methods chapter, reflecting cutting-edge developments in the field. – Updated references and suggested readings throughout.
