How fMRI Maps Brain Activity

Description

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) maps brain activity by tracking changes in blood flow during a task. It is a non-invasive neuroimaging method used to study human brain function and cognition in both healthy people and people with abnormal brain states.

fMRI works through the magnetic...

Transcript

Functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, is a now a widely used neuroimaging method for investigating human brain function and cognition. fMRI can be used to investigate both normal brain function and abnormal or diseased brain states.

This method makes use of strong magnets to create maps of brain activity by d...
