Developed specifically for students in the behavioral and brain sciences, this textbook provides a practical overview of human neuroimaging. The fully updated second edition covers all major methods including functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, multimodal imaging, and brain stimulation methods. Two new chapters have been added covering computational imaging as well as a discussion of the potential and limitations of neuroimaging in research. Experimental design, image processing, and statistical inference are addressed, with chapters for both basic and more advanced data analyses. Key concepts are illustrated through research studies on the relationship between brain and behavior, and review questions are included throughout to test knowledge and aid self-study. Combining wide coverage with detail, this is an essential text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science programs taking introductory courses on human neuroimaging.
