Product 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.

This book is perfect for the new researcher trying to get a good grasp of the principles of fMRI. It covers the concepts, the engineering and experimental design of fMRI scanners and the studies they can be used for. The explanations are clear and made clearer still by the excellent use of analogy and pleasing diagrams. It even covers the basics of experimental design which really helps the novice. The book also comes with data sets which allow one to try out ones image processing skills.
This book is highly recommended for those studying for higher degrees and is almost unique in that it is far more accessible than any of its rivals. Highly recommended.
Excellent book for our course July 29, 2010

We use the book to teach advanced undergraduate and early graduate students on the principles of MR. The book is very high quality, thoughtful, and we are delighted to use it in teaching.
Excellent start!!! September 17, 2009

This book is an excellent introduction of functional MRI with many pictures and diagrams, and nicely updated, for example, descriptions and pictures about head coils, compared with the former version. It covers comprehensive topics regarding the functional MRI. I strongly recommended this book to grad-students, post-docs, and any trainees who may consider using fMRI as a research tool.
