Abstract

The 17 papers in this special issue present significant contributions in three primary areas: data acquisition and preprocessing; brain activity detection and pattern analysis; and brain functional connectivity. The papers selected in this special issue, provide an overview of the state-of-art in the exciting and fruitful field of signal processing and modeling of brain fMRI. We hope that this collection will help identify the important issues in fMRI analysis and the key challenges to the signal processing community to help with the growth of this promising field.
