Description: 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. - Publisher.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
