Techniques

MRI

Radiology technique used in radiology to create pictures of brain anatomy and structure.

Functional MRI

Specific MRI technique that measures brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow. When an area of the brain is in use, blood flow to that region also increases. (Pickler et al., Nurs Res. 2017, DOI: 10.1097/NNR.0000000000000241)

Resting state fMRI dense time series surface, volume, and chart for the brainordinate specified by white sphere.

Human Connectome Project (HCP) pipeline

A tool to map the neural pathways that underlie human brain function. With this tool, we investigate the structural and functional connectivity of the human brain, aiming to connect its structure to function and behavior. (https://www.humanconnectome.org/)
