From the reviews:"fMRI Techniques and Protocols is a well written and comprehensive book on state-of-the-art technology and fMRI and accurately depicts fMRI as an invaluable tool for studying brain function. ... This book provides a quality resource for scientists, engineers and clinicians ... . very useful to the research community, and as fMRI is more heavily utilized as a clinical tool, this book will also be a good addition to a clinician's library. ... it is recommended to anyone interested in carrying out these powerful experiments."
