fMRI studies
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is a brain scanning technique that measures brain activity by detecting changes in blood flow. When a specific area of the brain is active, it requires more oxygen, and fMRI can visually map these changes. Researchers use fMRI to understand how different parts of the brain work, often during tasks or while individuals think about certain concepts. This helps scientists explore areas such as decision-making, memory, and emotions, contributing to our general knowledge of brain function and its relationship to behavior and mental processes.
