Functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain (fMRI) pinpoints where speech or memory occur in the brain.

MRI is clearer than CT. MRIs are superior than x-rays or CTs for viewing soft tissues.

Cognitive neuroscientists have access to PET, NIRS, MEG, EEG, and fMRI (fMRI).

Neuroimaging time? 30-minute MRIs. Exam lengthening contrast. Exam length will be given when you arrive.

Their combination produces confusion. Each "letter" in the brain's alphabet is handled by a different place.

MRI identifies stroke, TBI, brain and spinal cord tumours, inflammation, infection, vascular anomalies, and epilepsy-related brain damage.

A painless MRI scan doesn't require anaesthetic. Request a mild sedative if you're claustrophobic.

If the doctor suspects a skull fracture or brain bleeding, a CT scan is the best first test. Doctors look for symptoms and ask about accidents.
