This is a demonstration of how a single slice of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data is collected. Before this makes any sense, you will need to understand…

Science is self correcting. Finally!
Authors retract Science paper on controversial fMRI method
Several MRI artifacts contribute to the neuronal activity signal picked up by the method, according to a preprint the authors posted this month.
