Human thought and behavior emerge through complex and reciprocal interactions that link microscale molecular and cellular processes with macroscale functional patterns. Functional MRI (fMRI), one of the most common methods for studying the human brain, detects these latter patterns through the “blood oxygen level dependent,” or BOLD, signal, a composite measure of both neural and vascular signals that reflects an indirect measure of brain activity.

Neuroimaging research practices and methods evolve at remarkable speeds each year. These advances—which have been driven in large part by an influx of computer programmers and statisticians to the field over the past 15 years—push the boundaries of what we can learn about the human brain. But they also run the risk of leaving some people behind.

Recent articles This series of essays explores new developments and challenges in human brain imaging. A lack of programming experience can derail experimental aspirations. But custom software packages, web-based applications and video tutorials make functional MRI concepts easier to grasp. A lack of programming experience can derail experimental aspirations.
