Functional MRI: Challenges and Advances gives in-depth introduction to functional MRI through the challenges that the methodology has overcome and is still confronting. The book gives a comprehensive perspective on all the limits of fMRI - in terms of spatial resolution, temporal resolution, interpretation, and practical implementation - providing insight will into how fMRI has dealt, and is dealing with, these challenges. By describing the past challenges that have been overcome, it gives insight into the advancements and the opportunities provided by fMRI.
This book will be an ideal resource for researchers in fMRI to understand the trade-offs associated with deciding on desired scanning speed, resolution, and functioning contrast.
With this book the reader will be able to:
• Make informed decisions on how best use fMRI in planning their own experiments.
• Interpret their own experimental results and artifacts, knowing the signal and artifact sensitivity at specific field strengths, resolutions, speeds, and contrasts.
• Read the current literature in fMRI with a deep and historically-grounded perspective on the true capabilities and limits of fMRI.
• Use their understanding of advanced acquisition to optimize experimental design and post processing strategies.
First book on the historical context, pros and cons, nuances and state of the art in fMRI research.
Written by a leading authority in fMRI research
Gives the most relevant available resources for processing fMRI data.
