Abstract
Neuroimaging takes developed into the most critical innovations in expanding the knowledge of understanding function, especially in nervous disorders. Procedures such as fMRI and EEG are becoming more and more essential for studying intelligence movement and its connectivity in equally healthy individuals and medical cases. Despite these, there are a number of obstacles that still need to be surmounted to unleash the full potential of neuroimaging.
An important trade-off in current imaging techniques is between spatial and temporal resolution. Though fMRI provides high spatial resolution, it does not have adequate temporal resolution for fast neural processes. On the other hand, EEG is particularly strong on temporal resolution but has a “hopeless” localization problem. The balance this strikes on interpreting the data concerning cognitive functions is, consequently, rather hard to reach.
An additional problem is the fMRI signal variability and the fact that it has been found to differ across different individuals and even within the same individuals over different sessions. Naturally, this variation directly influences the ...
