Brain Imaging

Brain Imaging

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

To critically analyze common techniques and analytical approaches in brain connectivity research.

Main Methods:

Review of common techniques: resting-state functional MRI, diffusion MRI, electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) coherence.
Examination of analytical approaches for assessing brain interconnectivity.

Main Results:

Critical analysis of assumptions and methodological limitations for each imaging and analysis approach.
Highlights the strengths and weaknesses of current brain connectivity measurement techniques.

Conclusions:

Equips readers with the knowledge to critically assess research on the human connectome.
Emphasizes the importance of understanding methodological underpinnings in brain connectivity studies.
