"The book has a few chapters comprehensively covering the methods and physical principles of the technique, written by leading researchers in the field, but moves on to the practical challenges of performing functional MRI in the clinic. ... An appealing and highly useful feature is the consistent use of tables referencing key papers relevant to that chapter, highlighting their key findings. ... a comprehensive text on the topic of clinical fMRI this is an excellent read." (Dr. Stuart Clare, RAD Magazine, November, 2015) "This comprehensive introductory book on the principles and application of fMRI ... is a welcome addition to the neuroscience literature. ... The target audience includes physicians, psychiatrists, and neurologists, as well as trainees in these areas. ... This is an excellent introductory book on BOLD fMRI. ... Anyone who would like to attain basic fluency in this important research and clinical tool should read this outstanding book." (Michael Joel Schrift, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2015)
