Preface
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) represents one of the most advanced and enlightening functional imaging techniques that has ever been developed. One major area of research interest in fMRI is within the field of Cognitive Neuroscience, which focuses on understanding all aspects of the mental processes involved in awareness, reasoning, and acquisition of knowledge and behavior. This book includes selected chapters from Functional MRI: Basic Principles and Clinical Applications (S. Faro and F. Mohamed, Eds. New York: Springer Science+Business Media, LCC 2006) that the editors feel are of particular interest to neuroscientists, as the focus is primarily on describing the basic principles of Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) imaging and the
