Zusammenfassung:"Developed from tutorials to neuropsychology students, this guide explains systematically what aspects of brain activation are captured by PET, MEG and fMRI, how the activation images are constructed and how their fidelity may be evaluated; describes procedures used for imaging specific activation patterns and the assumptions involved in identifying them with the brain mechanisms of the various sensory motor and cognitive functions; explains the ways functional imaging is used to address issues of development and brain plasticity, to disclose the cerebral basis of psychiatric and neurological syndromes and of cognitive and personality traits; 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." "Fundamentals of Functional Brain Imaging will be useful for practitioners and advanced students in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and neuropsychology, residents in psychiatry and neurology, as well as the interested general public."--BOOK JACKET.
