Understanding FMRI

In order to design a good experiment, you will need a working understanding of the nature of the FMRI signal.

• Cambridge first year graduate seminar, a general introduction from Rhodri Cusack "Neuroimaging with MRI: combining physics and physiology to understand brain function - a basic introduction to imaging"

• MRI tutor by Ray Ballinger. There is a link there to a standalone windows tutor on MRI artefacts.

• MRI artefact gallery with pictures of common MRI artefacts

• Basics of MRI by Joseph Hornak

• FMRIB physics page with some excellent powerpoint presentations on FMRI theory

• Introduction to the physiology behind the FMRI BOLD response by Irene Tracy at FMRIB
