Although it is being successfully implemented for exploration of the genome, discovery
science has eluded the functional neuroimaging community. The core challenge remains the …

Resting-state data sets contain coherent fluctuations unrelated to neural processes originating
from residual motion artefacts, respiration and cardiac action. Such confounding effects …

Studies of functional brain imaging in humans and single cell recordings in monkeys have
generally shown preferential involvement of the medially located supplementary motor area (…

Introduction Magnetic resonance (MR) methods are non-invasive techniques to provide
detailed, multi-parametric information on human anatomy, function and metabolism. Sensitivity, …

Social anxiety disorder patients suffer from excessive anxious responses in social interaction
leading to avoidance behavior and social impairment. Although the amygdala has a central …

Exact timing is essential for functional MRI data analysis. Datasets are commonly measured
using repeated 2D imaging methods, resulting in a temporal offset between slices. To …

Although motor imagery is widely used for motor learning in rehabilitation and sports training,
the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. Based on fMRI data sets acquired …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a promising treatment modality for psychiatric
and neurological disorders. Repetitive TMS (rTMS) is widely used for the treatment of …

Activity within motor areas of the cortex begins to increase 1 to 2 s prior to voluntary self-initiated
movement (termed the Bereitschaftspotential or readiness potential). There has been …

Neuroimaging studies have documented modulation of the activity of the amygdala – a key
node in the neural network underlying emotion perception and processing, and one that has …
