Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the scanning technique which allows mapping of active processes within the brain. These maps are used by neuroscientists to learn how the normal human brain works and by clinicians to study the diseased state.
MoreLong description:
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the scanning
technique which allows the mapping of active processes within the brain.
There are six sections to the book with chapters from an expert international team. Part I provides a broad overview of the field and sets the context. Part II describes the physiological and physical background to fMRI, including coverage of the hardware required and pulse sequence selection. Practical issues involving experimental design of the paradigms, psycho-physical stimulus delivery and subject response are covered in Part III, followed by a comprehensive treatment of data analysis in Part IV. Part V deals with practical applications of the technique in the field of neuroscience and in clinical practice. The final section describes how fMRI can be integrated with other neuro-electromagnetic functional mapping techniques.
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging: An Introduction to Methods is written to be accessible to a wide-ranging
audience of research scientists interested in studying how the normal brain works, and clinicians interested in
monitoring disease states and processes.
The work . . . does provide a good overview of the complex physics methods. The images . . . are of high quality and a good guide generally for the clinician.
