Resting State FMRI
Resting state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is a brain imaging technique used to measure and analyze the brain activity of a person while he/she is in a resting or default state. It is used to investigate how different brain regions interact with each other in a natural, unstructured context and identifies patterns of spontaneous, ongoing brain activity associated with various cognitive and psychological processes. This technique has immense medical and psychological significance as it helps to gain a greater understanding of the structure and function of the brain networks and the relationship between the brain and behavior and has the potential to provide insight into a vast range of neurological conditions. Its applications range from basic neuroscientific research to clinical diagnostics, enabling the study of neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, mental illnesses, traumatic brain injury and stroke.
