Books-Methods — fMRI 4 Newbies

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging 3e - Huettel, Song, & McCarthy (2014)

An excellent introduction to fMRI physics, the BOLD response, signal properties, and design and analysis.

For cognitive neuroscientists, I particularly recommend Chapters 8 through 12.

Introduction to Resting State fMRI Functional Connectivity - Bijsterbosch, Smith & Beckmann

Essentials of Functional MRI - Stroman (2016)

Networks of the Brain - Sporns (2010)

This valuable book reviews both the methods for studying connectivity (anatomical, functional and effective connectivity) and understanding connectivity in terms of small world networks.

The techniques are described in clear terms accessible to even the less mathematically inclined readers.

The book also discusses some of the interesting results and interpretations that have arisen from these approaches.
