In scientific terms, the acronym "FMRI" stands for "Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging". It is used to scan a patient's body (specifically the brain) by using magnetic waves.

How does an fMRI know if someone is lying?

Neither fMRI machines nor people interpreting data from fMRI machines can tell if an individual is lying. fMRI machines can show regions that are activated by certain tasks; however, fMRI machines do not provide causation, only correlation (e.g. task Y doesn't necessarily require brain region X). Since a single brain region can be involved in multiple tasks, it would be nearly impossible to say with any certainty "X region is the region for lying" and to conclude that activation in this region suggests that an individual is lying.

What is the difference between a brain scan and an brain MRI?

1.The MRI and fMRI differ from each other in a way that the MRI views the anatomical structure while the fMRI views the metabolic function. 2.An MRI studies the water molecule's hydrogen nuclei whereas an fMRI calculates the levels of oxygen. 3.An MRI's structural imaging views at a high resolution the differences between tissue types with respect to space. On the other hand, an fMRI's functional imaging views the tissue differences with respect to time. 4.The MRI has a high, spatial resolution while an fMRI has a long-distance, superior, temporal resolution. 5.When talking about its technological advancements, the fMRI is still starting to build up its name unlike the MRI wherein it is already at its peak as one of the widely used equipment technologies in the medical world. 6.The fMRI is yet to be introduced for diagnostic purposes and is only used in experiments unlike the revolutionary MRI. 7.The fMRI is considered to be more expensive than the MRI because of the additional software and hardware required fo
