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.

About the Author
SCOTT A. HUETTEL is Associate Professor in the Brain Imaging and Analysis Center and Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke University. He is also faculty in the Departments of Psychiatry, Neurobiology, and Psychology. He received a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology from Duke University. His research uses behavioral and functional neuroimaging techniques to investigate the executive control of behavior, with particular focus on decision-making, reward evaluation, and neuroeconomics. ALLEN W. SONG is Director of the Brain Imaging and Analysis Center and Professor in the Departments of Radiology and Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. His Ph.D., in Biophysics, was earned from the Medical College of Wisconsin. His research involves the development and optimization of new methods to improve the functional sensitivity and specificity of fMRI. A central focus is the development of alternative contrast mechanisms for fMRI, including diffusion and perfusion imaging and direct imaging of neuronal activity. GREGORY MCCARTHY is Professor of Psychology at Yale University. He is also a Research Career Scientist for the Department of Veterans Affairs. He received his Ph.D. in Biological Psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. McCarthy is broadly interested in the functional anatomy of the human brain, an interest he has pursued using behavioral, electrophysiological, and neuroimaging methods. One goal of his research is to elucidate the brain mechanisms of high-level visual function, particularly with regard to perception of faces and visual motion cues for social cognition. Another line of research investigates executive functions, particularly in the frontal lobe, and how they are altered by distracting or emotional stimuli.

This review is from: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging [With CDROM] (Hardcover)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book for our course,
This review is from: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Second Edition (Hardcover)
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.

This review is from: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Second Edition (Hardcover)
Kudos to the authors for finding a way to teach this dense material. For the most part the text was readable and helped me understand material which is quite frankly far out of my domain of expertise, though I was sometimes frustrated by the fact that important points sometimes seemed to get muddled because of unclear terminology or other unclear presentation. For example: "If k-space is sampled across a wide field of view but with a limited sampling rate, the resulting image will have a small field of view but high resolution." What?? I have been staring at this for an hour. How can something have simultaneously a wide and narrow FOV? Does k-space have its own FOV (their definition on the preceding page of FOV seems to limit it to image space, not kspace!)? I'm sure a seasoned expert will know what this means, but it makes me want to tear my hair out. This always seemed to happen at the most important points in the book on the nights where I needed desperately to understand the one sentence. If there were more/better supplementary materials, I would give it 4 stars. It would help a lot if the website had animations or other interactive materials. I saw an animation on a website and it made me understand a concept in 30s that I could not understand after many hours of reading this book.
