Synopsis:

The 1990s have been declared the decade of the brain, and with this declaration has come new technologies for understanding brain structure and function. Neuroimaging has provided the means for visually identifying active brain structures in living humans. It provides a dynamic tool for witnessing the functional and dysfunctional brain. This book addresses the technical problems of image registration, inter-subject and intra-subject analysis, and explores the synergistic advantages of multimodal integration. Section one discusses statistical analysis of results and neural network modelling. Section two addresses technical issues associated with techniques such as factors of blood flow metabolism. Section three investigates database management, and section four addresses multi-model integration.

Review: "The intended readership of (methodologically motivated) neuroscientists, graduate students, psychologists, neuropsychologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists, psychiatrists, and those interested in the use of MEG, EEG, MRI, and PET to study brain function will find it a valuable source volume and an excellent, if technical, overview of the current status of the field."

..".it remains one of the most informative and useful publications in the field and can certainly be recommended to anyone entering the area and wanting to gain an appreciation of the technical aspects and methodological problems in functional neuroimaging."
