Basic Neuroimaging Sabrina Brigadoi

Basic Neuroimaging is a textbook born out of passion. With this initiative we are looking to provide a comprehensive background to neuroimaging for students and professionals alike. In this text, we focus on a range of imaging modalities currently used in neurosciences. These include MRI, fMRI, PET, NIRS, EEG, TMS and MEG. After a brief historical description of each, we look at basics of the techniques starting from the data acquisition and finishing with the most successful example of applications. We go on to describe the different statistical approaches to broadly interrogate neuroimaging data and conclude with some representative case studies of neuroimaging in neuroscience and dementia research. This text has been produced in a purely voluntary fashion by a team of early career neuroimaging scientists with unique experiences. We have published with accessibility of information as our key criteria. We hope that you enjoy reading this as much as we enjoyed writing it.
