Handbook of Functional MRI Data Analysis [PDF ebook] 

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (f MRI) has become the most popular method for imaging brain function. Handbook of Functional MRI Data Analysis provides a comprehensive and practical introduction to the methods used for f MRI data analysis. Using minimal jargon, this book explains the concepts behind processing f MRI data, focusing on the techniques that are most commonly used in the field. This book provides background about the methods employed by common data analysis packages including FSL, SPM and AFNI. Some of the newest cutting-edge techniques, including pattern classification analysis, connectivity modeling and resting state network analysis, are also discussed. Readers of this book, whether newcomers to the field or experienced researchers, will obtain a deep and effective knowledge of how to employ f MRI analysis to ask scientific questions and become more sophisticated users of f MRI analysis software.
