Abstract

Among the living creatures on earth, humans represent the only one that can study themselves. Since ancient Greece, philosophers have reflected on many issues including earth’s place within the Universe, whether there’s an afterlife, the human anatomy, how we remember and perceive the world, the role of science in society, and many others.

Fußnoten
1
There are different kinds of synapse, but I am not going into details of synaptic transmission in this book. The interested reader should look at the bibliography provided at the end of the chapter.
 
2
Tesla (T) is the international unit of measure for the magnetic field. The magnetic field applied inside an MRI scanner is around 100000 times bigger than earth’s magnetic field.
 
3
In this simplified description of MRI, I voluntary did not mention specific terminology such as Larmor frequency, relaxation time, Fourier transform, gradient field and so on. The interested reader should have a look at the bibliography provided at the end of the chapter.
 
4
The protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
 
5
Note that fMRI is even used in animal studies, especially in monkeys.
 
6
Hertz (Hz) is the unit of measure for frequency. By saying that the MEG system can sample at 1000 Hz, it means that in 1s we have 1000 samplings (estimates) of the neuromagnetic activity.
 
7
Just keep in mind that in Chap.​ 3 we will discuss again about Capgras Syndrome as possibly representing a complementary condition to prosopagnosia.
