'This masterfully written text threads the needle between being a cutting-edge and comprehensive state-of-the-art reference on all human neuroimaging methods, and a highly accessible and perspective-building book that one will want to read from cover to cover. I look forward to purchasing a copy for everyone in my lab.' Peter Bandettini, Director of the Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Core Facility (FMRIF), National Institute of Health
