Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging was the first textbook to
provide a true introduction to fMRI--one that presented material
authoritatively and comprehensively, yet was accessible to undergraduate
students, graduate students, and beginning researchers. This third
edition features an updated discussion of the physiological basis of
fMRI that includes recent discoveries about the origins of the BOLD
response, new data-driven and computational approaches to fMRI data
analysis, explanations of creative approaches to experimental design,
and discussions of ethical and methodological controversies, among many
other revisions. Examples are drawn both from seminal historical work
and cutting-edge current research. Concepts are reinforced by numerous
thought problems and illustrated with full-color figures, all revised
for this edition to achieve a contemporary graphic look. Each chapter is
accompanied by updated references and suggested readings.
