A quick guide to neuroimaging

My latest videos (also available on YouTube) are three short, simple introductions to the remarkable neuroscientific techniques of neuroimaging, dealing with fMRI, PET, and MEG.

fMRI: functional magnetic resonance imaging.

PET: positron emission tomography.

MEG: magnetoencephalography. (This one also discusses EEG, electroencephalography.)

(Apologies for the fit of the giggles that overtook my interviewer, and then me, in the MEG video, requiring some urgent, but rather amateur, editing.)

My hope is that these guides will be useful to students starting out, and to anyone who wants a quick briefing on what happens in brain scans. I’ve tried to keep the talks short, clear, and as fluent as possible. I’ve put slides in at intervals to help summarise the material, and there are some questions at the end for those who’d like pointers to further study.

Have you ever considered writing an ebook or guest authoring on other

blogs? I have a blog centered on the same subjects you

discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information.
I know my

visitors would value your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to

send me an email.

Hi there! I simply would like to give a huge thumbs up for the good data you have right here on this post.
I can be coming back to your weblog for more soon.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is

needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very

internet smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any recommendations or advice

would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

- Starting up a blog with WordPress, or any of the major blogging platforms, isn’t terribly expensive, and it’s easy to get started. Just go to one of their sites and explore.

My brother recommended I may like this website. He was

once entirely right. This post truly made my day. You cann’t

believe simply how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!

Thank you for another great article. Where else could

anyone get that kind of information in such an ideal way of
writing? I have a

presentation next week, and I’m on the look for such information.
