In the last decade, an exciting development has been functional MRI [magnetic resonance imaging](fMRI). The most commonly used method is the blood oxygen-level dependent(BOLD) technique... This method detects changes of blood levels of oxygen saturation(because of the concentration of deoxyhemoglobin), and an area with more oxygenated blood is more intense on T2-weighted images. 1, record 1, English, - blood%20oxygen%20level%2Ddependent%20technique

L'IRM [image par résonance magnétique] fonctionnelle (IRMf) est une imagerie indirecte de l'activité cérébrale basée sur la détection des variations du flux et d'oxygénation du sang secondaire à l'activation cérébrale. Elle est basée sur la technique BOLD. 2, record 1, French, - technique%20BOLD

Brain reading uses the responses of multiple voxels in the brain evoked by stimulus then detected by fMRI [functional magnetic resonance imaging] in order to decode the original stimulus. Brain reading studies differ in the type of decoding(i. e. classification, identification and reconstruction) employed, the target(i. e. decoding visual patterns, auditory patterns, cognitive states), and the decoding algorithms(linear classification, nonlinear classification, direct reconstruction, Bayesian reconstruction, etc.) employed. 1, record 2, English, - brain%20reading
