Elements of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Elements of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 1, provides a comprehensive guide to fMRI neuroimaging. This textbook bridges the gap between biological, computational, and statistical expertise, making it a vital resource for the behavioral sciences and bioengineering categories. The text explains the fundamental principles of how fMRI works, offering a conceptual overview of what neuroimaging reveals about human behavior and the mind.

The content covers essential technical details, including MRI physics, data acquisition, and experimental design. It details standard statistical methods and advanced analytic techniques, such as general linear models, graph theory, and machine learning applications. Spanning fields from neuroscience and biology to engineering and medicine, this volume equips practitioners and non-specialists with the tools to evaluate neuroimaging findings and apply complex predictive models to research.
