Summary

Striking images showing the brain at work have appeared in newspaper articles, on television, and even in movies. But how are they formed and what do they really mean? Several modern brain-imaging techniques can now be used to “see” what’s going on in the human brain. New Techniques for Examining the Brain provides an enlightening overview of the fundamental organization of the brain, how it has been studied in the past, and the modern methods of human brain imaging. It also explores some of the exciting things we can learn about the brain using these new technologies, as well as how they are being used in science, medicine, and society.
