Introduction to Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging by Richard B. Buxton Book PDF Summary
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is now a standard tool for mapping activation patterns in the human brain. This highly interdisciplinary field involves neuroscientists and physicists as well as clinicians who need to understand the rapidly increasing range, flexibility and sophistication of the techniques. In this book, Richard Buxton, a leading authority on fMRI, provides an invaluable introduction for this readership to how fMRI works, from basic principles and the underlying physics and physiology, to newer techniques such as arterial spin labeling and diffusion tensor imaging.
