Human Brain Mapping

Brain mapping is a set of neuroscience approaches based on mapping (biological) values or features onto spatial representations of the (human or non-human) brain to produce maps. Brain mapping is also defined as the use of imaging to research the structure and function of the brain and spinal cord (including intra-operative, microscopic, endoscopic and multi-modality imaging). Human brain mapping is an experimental discipline that uses a combination of experimental psychology, human neuroscience, and noninvasive neuroimaging to establish structure-function correspondences in the brain.
