Abstract: Neuroimaging studies have greatly enhanced the potential to understand brain-behavior relationships in complex behaviors such as language. The method of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is one of the newest tools for neuroimaging, and it will in all likelihood contribute substantially to new knowledge about brain activation for language processing. This review summarizes basic information about fMRI, including principles of operation, experimental pitfalls and examples of application to language.
