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
