Synopsis
This guide to functional imaging is designed to respond to the needs of non-specialists, professionals and students of psychology, cognitive neuroscience, psychiatry, behavioural neurology and epistimology, enabling them to understand the basic principles of highly specialized imaging technologies and to assess for themselves the contribution of these technologies to their respective fields.
;Developed from tutorials to neuropsychology students, this guide: explains systematically which aspects of brain activation are captured by PET, MEG and fMRI, how the activiation images are constructed and how their fidelity may be evaluated; describes procedures used for imaging specific aviation patterns and the assumptions involved in identifying them with the brain mechanisms of the various sensory motor and cognitive functions; explains the ways in which functional imaging is used to address issues of development and brain plasticity, and to disclose the cerebral basis of psychiatric and neurological syndromes and of cognitive and personality traits; and outlines theoretical and pragmatic factors that define the limits of the potential contributions of functional imaging to our understanding of brain mechanisms of all functions, including the putative mechanism of consciousness."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
