After discussing the principles and history of the field, chapters cover the physics of fMRI, the biological properties of the signal, research design and experimental analysis, and future directions. The CD-ROM contains study questions, lab exercises, MRI data results, and a glossary. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
