BS 156 Russell Poldrack talks about Brain Imaging (fMRI)

This month's episode of Brain Science is an
interview with Stanford psychologist, Dr Russell A. Poldrack,
author of The New Mind Readers: What Neuroimaging Can and
Cannot Reveal about Our Thoughts. We discuss a brief history
of the use of fMRI brain imaging with an emphasis on how to avoid
the mistakes that plagued the field early on. Listeners will come
away with an appreciation of both the promise and limitations of
brain imaging, including an understanding of why it is NOT ready
for use as a lie detector.
