fMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a imaging method to display and study active brain structures with high spatial resolution.
fMRI is used in human research to study:
- the basis of fMRI and the underlying BOLD effect
- cortical networks and cognitive neuroscience (now the brain is learning and decisions are made)
- resting state (the brain at sleep)
medres activities (development and production) in humanoid fMRI research:
- MRI-compatible stimulation equipment (display, speakers)
- MRI-compatible feedback equipment (joystick, keyboard)
- MRI-compatible control equipment (camera, IR-camera, vibrations detectors)
