以fMRI探索遠端記憶之神經基質

• 課程重點

這門課程探究個體生命中記憶的保持和定位。希望學生們能夠招募一些受試者，瞭解他們的過去，並針對特定的某個受試者設計刺激實驗來引出其長期記憶。此外，還希望學生們能夠利用功能性核磁共振（fMRI）對受試者進行掃描。本課程有一個廣泛的閱讀清單和相關資源，使讀者能對此課題進行更進一步的探索。

以下的連結是一些網上參考，關於使用fMRI技術來研究記憶的額外資源。這些連結範圍較廣，包括從專業社群所維護的連結到在成像領域任何讀者都能夠看懂的範圍。連結的多數網站提供更進一步的研究的資源，和可以下載來用於課堂教學的資源。

The links below are online references for additional resources in the study of memory using fMRI technology. These range from professional societies that maintain links to areas that any reader can explore in the field of imaging. Many of the linked sites provide resources for further study, as well as downloadable resources that can be used for classroom teaching. 

成像

Imaging

Martino生物醫學影像中心是麻省州立醫院放射醫學系內的研究中心。當前他們使用傳統、高速和高磁場的核磁共振（MR）成像、核磁波譜、光學成像、腦磁（MEG）和腦電（EEG）方法來探索生物系統的性質並開發治療人類疾病，如腫瘤、心理疾病和心血管疾病的方法。

The Martino Center for Biomedical Imaging is a research center based in the Department of Radiology of the Massachusetts General Hospital. They currently use conventional, high speed and high field magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, MR spectroscopy, optical imaging, magnetoencephalography (MEG), and electroencephalography (EEG) to explore properties of biological systems and to develop ways to treat human pathologies such as cancer, mental illness and cardiovascular disorders.
