The Statistical Analysis of Brain Images
Pedro Antonio Valdes-Sosa, Rolando Biscay Lirio · Birkhäuser Boston eBooks · 1990
Mental processes are the result of the spatially and temporally distributed activity of neural masses. Advances in neurosciences in recent years have generated new, formalized theories about the dynamics of these neural ensembles (Lopes da Silva et al., 1987, Chapters 2, 3, and 6) and also new techniques for obtaining either static anatomical images (CT, MRI) of the structural constraints in which they are embedded or time-varying functional images (PET, EEG, MEG) of their activity.
