Abstract
Neuroimaging is an umbrella term that refers to various methods of measuring and imaging the function or structure of the nervous system, in particular the brain.
This chapter focuses on the physical and functional principles of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in humans. This includes different technical and conceptual approaches (e.g., structural MRI; functional MRI; connectivity analysis) as well as different statistical techniques (e.g., GLM; MVPA). Major advantages and disadvantages will be identified for each approach, and major conceptual issues concerning the association between brain anatomy or function and individual differences will be provided. Where possible, exemplar studies that make use of particular approaches or techniques are presented. Other imaging techniques (e.g., positron emission tomography) will only be briefly sketched.
