These groundbreaking advances have opened infinite fields of investigation--into such areas as musical perception, brain development in utero, and faulty brain connections leading to psychiatric disorders--and have raised unprecedented ethical issues. In \u003ci\u003eLooking Inside the Brain\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the leading pioneers of the field, Denis Le Bihan, offers an engaging account of the sophisticated interdisciplinary research in physics, neuroscience, and medicine that have led to the remarkable neuroimaging methods that give us a detailed look into the human brain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntroducing neurological anatomy and physiology, Le Bihan walks readers through the historical evolution of imaging technology--from the x-ray and CT scan to the PET scan and MRI--and he explains how neuroimaging uncovers afflictions like stroke or cancer and the workings of higher-order brain activities, such as language skills. Le Bihan also takes readers on a behind-the-scenes journey through NeuroSpin, his state-of-the-art neuroimaging laboratory, and goes over the cutting-edge scanning devices currently being developed. Considering what we see when we look at brain images, Le Bihan weighs what might be revealed about our thoughts and unconscious, and discusses how far this technology might go in the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeautifully illustrated in color, \u003ci\u003e Looking Inside the Brain\u003c\/i\u003e presents the trailblazing story of the scanning techniques that provide keys to previously unimagined knowledge of our brains and our selves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denis Le Bihan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691160619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691160610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2014 pg. 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2015","brand":"Denis Le Bihan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120043815167,"sku":"9780691160610","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a912af6b-814e-4726-88d1-5c962f1dfea4.jpg?v=1687412266","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/looking-inside-the-brain-denis-le-bihan-9780691160610","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
