Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has become a standard tool for mapping the working brain's activation patterns, both in health and in disease. It is an interdisciplinary field and crosses the borders of neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, radiology, mathematics, physics and engineering. Developments in techniques, procedures and our understanding of this field are expanding rapidly. In this second edition of Introduction to Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Richard Buxton – a leading authority on fMRI – provides an invaluable guide to how fMRI works, from introducing the basic ideas and principles to the underlying physics and physiology. He covers the relationship between fMRI and other imaging techniques and includes a guide to the statistical analysis of fMRI data. This book will be useful both to the experienced radiographer, and the clinician or researcher with no previous knowledge of the technology.

- Includes a new final chapter on interpreting the BOLD response
- Includes a detailed discussion of how MRI works, allowing the reader to develop a solid understanding of the physical ideas that underlie these methods
Reviews & endorsements
"This is an excellent introduction to a field that is revolutionizing the brain sciences. I highly recommend it to clinicians who would like to keep abreast of this paradigm-changing technology."
Doody's Review ServiceSee more reviews"In this extensive book on the subject by Richard B. Buxton, a physicist by background and a leading authority on fMRI, you - the student, resident, or fellow in neuroimaging, or even the clinician, researcher or experienced neuroscientist - can study, understand a lot of neurological processes … The information in the chapters of this book is presented with a lot of visuals to facilitate your understanding of the various complex topics."
