Event-related fMRI

Event-related fMRI is a brain imaging technique that measures changes in blood flow to specific brain areas in response to individual events or stimuli, such as a thought, movement, or sensory input. Unlike traditional fMRI, which averages activity over longer periods, event-related fMRI captures rapid, specific brain responses to discrete events. This allows researchers to study how different cognitive processes or stimuli engage different parts of the brain in real-time, providing detailed insights into brain functioning during specific tasks or experiences.
