Learn about Functional Magnetic Imaging with Nadine Gaab, PhD
One research method used in the Division of Developmental Medicine (Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience) is functional magnetic imaging, a non-invasive research tools that allows the investigation of brain correlates of behavior in children with and without developmental disorders. Here we show how this is done in our Division in a very playful way.
