Riassunto:

Combining step-by-step explanations and intuitive analogies, this text for undergraduates and up offers a rigorous introduction to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Written in an accessible, jargon-free writing style, the text begins with a foundation in the physics and biology of fMRI, referring frequently to fMRI applications. Coverage then extends to principles and practice of fMRI experimentation, encompassing areas such as neurovascular organization, experimental design, and signal processing. Learning features include margin definitions, boxes on high-interest topics, equation summaries, and thought questions. The book's appealing art program features color and b&w photos, diagnostic images, anatomical drawings, and explanatory illustrations of biological and cellular processes on every page. This second edition incorporates the many advances in the field in the past five years, with separate chapters on standard hypothesis-driven fMRI data analysis and advanced exploratory analyses, increased coverage of the integration of fMRI with other cognitive neuroscience techniques, and a new chapter on ethical issues. Huettel is affiliated with Duke University's Brain Imaging and Analysis Center. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
