PET Scanning in Autism Spectrum Disorders

Neuroimaging Methods

The scope of this book is not to provide a comprehensive overview of methods and applications but to provide a 'snapshot' of current approaches using well established and newly emerging techniques. Major topics coverd are:Functional Neuroimaging: A Historical Perspective, Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS): Principles and Neuroscientific Applications, Measurement of Brain Function Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), Diffusion Tensor Imaging: Structural Connectivity Insights, Limitations and Future Directions.
