Features: This thoroughly revised second edition of "Brain Function" elaborates on the theory, practice, and application methods of modern non-invasive brain imaging techniques, as well as their applications in exploring the structure and function of both normal and diseased brains. Like the previous edition, this book is written by members of the Functional Imaging Laboratory (FIL), which is a London-based laboratory funded by the Wellcome Trust and has been dedicated to developing methods and applications of brain imaging techniques for the past 10 years. The book consists of two parts. The first part introduces the progress of research on the functions of the human brain in the fields of sensation, cognition, and action. By studying normal functions and functional abnormalities caused by diseases, it provides insights into how the human brain is organized.
