Researchers know what you were about to say; fMRI used to detect memory storage and retrieval
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University have provided evidence that the act of recalling a memory is a bit like mental time travel. Their study, presented in the Dec. 23 edition of the journal Science, demonstrates that the same areas of the brain that are active during an event are activated when a person attem...Love's all in the brain: fMRI study shows strong, lateralized reward, not sex, drive
