How Functional MRI Maps Brain Activity in Real Time

The human brain contains billions of neurons communicating through complex electrical and chemical signals every second. Understanding how different regions of the brain function has long been one of medicine’s greatest challenges. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, commonly known as fMRI, has transformed neuroscience by allowing researchers and physicians to observe brain activity as it happens.  Unlike traditional MRI scans…
