Abstract

In addition to MRI for use in diagnostic imaging we now also have functional MRI (fMRI) at our disposal. This can be used to map activity in different areas of the brain. Since its introduction, this technique has been used extensively in preoperative analysis of brain tumours. Emotional centres can also be mapped. Various applications and limitations of fMRI for studying emotions are discussed in this article.
