task-based fMRI

Task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a brain imaging technique used to measure brain activity by detecting changes in blood flow. When you perform a task, like solving math problems or recalling memories, specific areas of your brain become more active, requiring more oxygen. This increased blood flow is captured by the fMRI, allowing researchers to see which regions are involved in different mental tasks. It helps scientists understand how the brain processes information and supports various cognitive functions, including language, problem-solving, and memory.
