Summary

Introduction to fMRI, a neuroimaging technique. The document explores the differences between PET and fMRI, goals of neuroimaging including multidisciplinary science, MRI and cognitive science and health neurosciences, measures like Gray matter and White matter, connectivity, MRI properties and human neuroimaging. This document is a good introductory text into the subject matter.

Structural Brain Imaging Structural brain imaging deals with the study of brain structure and the diagnosis of disease and injury. Modalities include: – computed axial tomography (CAT), – magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and – positron emission tomography (PET). MRI Proton Density T1 T2 Functional Brain Imaging Functional brain imaging can be used to study both cognitive and affective processes. Modalities include: – positron emission tomography (PET), – functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), – electroencephalography (EEG), and – magnetoencephalography (MEG). fMRI Properties Each functional imaging modality provides a different type of measurement of the brain. They also have their own pros and cons with regards to spatial resolution, temporal resolution and invasiveness. Functional MRI provides a nice balance between these properties and has become the dominant functional imaging modality in the past decade.

Brain imaging data has found applications in a wide variety of fields, such as psychology, economics, political science, and statistics. In addition, it is central to several emerging fields, such as cognitive neuroscience, affective neuroscience, neuroeconomics, and more.
