This article reviews the evaluation and optimization of the preprocessing steps for blood-
oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This …

A considerable body of evidence supports the notion that the neurofunctional substrate of
working memory is not only related to the integrity of the prefrontal cortex, but also to the …

Examination of functional interactions through effective connectivity requires the
determination of three distinct levels of information:(1) the regions involved in the process …

Motion correction of fMRI data is a widely used step prior to data analysis. In this study, a
comparison of the motion correction tools provided by several leading fMRI analysis …

This book explores various state-of-the-art aspects behind the statistical analysis of
neuroimaging data. It examines the development of novel statistical approaches to model …

FMRI has revealed the presence of correlated low‐frequency cerebro‐vascular oscillations
within functional brain systems, which are thought to reflect an intrinsic feature of large‐scale …

Mathematical giftedness is a form of intelligence related to enhanced mathematical
reasoning that can be tested using a variety of numerical and spatial tasks. A number of …

The coordination of movement between the upper limbs is a function highly distributed
across the animal kingdom. How the central nervous system generates such bilateral …

IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine focuses on modern methods for the
analysis of data from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies. Accordingly, the …

We propose a novel method using Bayesian networks to learn the structure of effective
connectivity among brain regions involved in a functional MR experiment. The approach is …
