Abstract

Recent neuroimaging techniques, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and magnetoencephalography (MEG), allow us to probe the brain at unprecedentedly high temporal or spatial resolution without the use of invasive techniques. fMRI plays a key role and has gained popularity in modern psychiatric research due to its noninvasiveness, lack of radiation exposure, a relatively good spatial and temporal resolution, and ease of acquisition.
