Abstract:
A system for assessing brain functioning uses neuropsychological assessments which are performed while a patient is within an fMRI scanning environment and while scanning is in process to detect the BOLD signals within the patient's brain. The system may be used to detect brain impairment and injuries which do not present tissue damage detectable using previous methods.
