What exactly is fMRI?
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a safe, non-invasive technique. It does not involve any x-rays or injections. fMRI allows us to determine what areas of the brain are working while a person reads a word or a sentence. An fMRI scan involves lying on a table, which slides part way into the scanner. When in the scanner, children will perform computer reading exercises while their brain activity is recorded.
