An accessible introduction to the history, fundamental concepts,
challenges, and controversies of the fMRI by one of the pioneers in
the field. The discovery of functional MRI (fMRI) methodology in
1991 was a breakthrough in neuroscience research. This
non-invasive, relatively high-speed, and high sensitivity method of
mapping human brain activity enabled observation of subtle
localized changes in blood flow associated with brain activity.
Thousands of scientists around the world have not only embraced
fMRI as a new and powerful method that complemented their ongoing
studies but have also gone on to redirect their research around
this revolutionary technique. This volume in the MIT Press
Essential Knowledge series offers an accessible introduction to the
history, fundamental concepts, challenges, and controversies of
fMRI, written by one of the pioneers in the field. Peter Bandettini
covers the essentials of fMRI, providing insight and perspective
from his nearly three decades of research. He describes other brain
imaging and assessment methods; the sources of fMRI contrasts; the
basic methodology, from hardware to pulse sequences; brain
activation experiment design strategies; and data and image
processing. A unique, standalone chapter addresses major
controversies in the field, outlining twenty-six challenges that
have helped shape fMRI research. Finally, Bandettini lays out the
four essential pillars of fMRI: technology, methodology,
interpretation, and applications. The book can serve as a guide for
the curious nonexpert and a reference for both veteran and novice
fMRI scientists.
