Summary
Summary
Prior to the publication of the first edition of this book in 2004, existing texts were targeted toward practicing scientists, and assumed a level of expertise not possessed by most students. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging was the first textbook to provide a true introduction to fMRI designed with undergraduate students, graduate students, and beginning researchers in mind. Changes in the Second Edition include: Revised MR physics chapters that include parallel conceptual and quantitative paths, allowing students from diverse backgrounds and interests to readily navigate these topics. Expanded discussion of fMRI data analysis, with separate chapters on standard hypothesis-driven analyses and advanced exploratory analyses. Expanded coverage of experimental design that includes new approaches to efficient creation of fMRI experiments. Revised discussion of the physiological basis of fMRI to include recent discoveries about the origins of the BOLD response. A new Ethics chapter that discusses controversies, ethical and social concerns, and popular interpretations of fMRI research. Increased coverage of the integration of fMRI with other cognitive neuroscience techniques. New topics in the Advanced Methods chapter, reflecting cutting-edge developments in the field. Updated references and suggested readings throughout.

Choice Review
The authors, established researchers and educators in the field of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), have written an excellent textbook, suitable for students with diverse backgrounds who wish to learn fMRI. Huettel, Song, and McCarthy (all of Duke Univ.) first present the background information necessary to understand MRI at a level suitable for someone entering the field. Chapters follow on the relationship between neuronal activity and hemodynamic activity (the principle of fMRI), spatial and temporal properties of fMRI, signals and noise and the processing of fMRI data, experimental design, and statistical analysis; together, these chapters present a comprehensive picture of state-of-the-art fMRI. Chapters on applications, advanced methods, and converging operations round out the text. The text reads like a well-written, detailed Scientific American article, with numerous full-color figures, including well-drawn and well-thought-out diagrams, fMRI images, and images of MRI hardware. Pages contain multiple side notes with definitions of terms. A CD with study questions, labs, fMRI data sets, tools, and an extensive glossary accompanies the text. Students will find this well-written book easy to understand. It is well worth the price! ^BSumming Up: Highly recommended. Upper-level undergraduates and above. J. P.
