FMRI has very poor temporal resolution and moderately poor spatial resolution-- it's like trying to figure out the workings of your computer by using a meat thermometer.

- jacquesm 10y agoA portable fMRI machine... that's the stuff of dreams. For sure that would change the world for the better but I really don't see how you would even begin to tackle that.

- chrisfosterelli 10y agoI suppose, if you can also weightlift a magnetically & RF shielded room with you :P
- namlem 10y agoRoom temperature superconductors would certainly help a lot.
- chrisfosterelli 10y agoWhile yes fMRI lacks temporal resolution, the spatial resolution is way better compared to EEG. You also have the benefit of 3D spatial data while EEG only provides 2D data from the scalp. If temporal resolution is important, MEG can be used and has better spatial resolution than EEG. Generally, EEG's benefit is that it's cheaper (either in terms of data collection or for showing your method has the potential to be commoditized).
