Functional magnetic resonance imaging
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a technique that allows researchers to examine the activity within the brain by measuring the changes in blood flow. This non-invasive procedure utilizes the magnetic properties of blood to generate images that show which areas of the brain are active during certain tasks or behaviors.
