The first sections are conceptual, and focus on what we can and cannot say with fMRI, and how it relates to other techniques, including clinical MRI. The later sections are more technical, and go into detail in parts with equations covering fundamentals in some sections.
The new book has new sections on: generalizability, multi-level models, connectivity, dual regression, RSA, autocorrelation, ML & predictive models, large-sample studies, clinical applications, encoding-decoding, SEM, DCM, integration with LLMs, deep learning and AI. (Among other topics.)
There are 42 chapters. Why 42? It's the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, of course!

Really delighted to get copies of our new book, Elements of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
A labor of love over the past 10 years, along with @fmristats.
Available for pre-order:

It’s a substantial extension of our previous book on Leanpub and Principles of fMRI Part 1 and Part 2 on Coursera and Youtube. The new book is $ I know (we didn’t choose that), but these are free :).

Excited to share my first-author paper now out in @natcomms.nature.com (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)! Here, we asked whether verbal narratives about social interactions activate the same brain areas as audiovisual presentations, and whether they overlap with theory of mind (ToM). (1/11)
This collection includes the thresholded t maps (Figure 5) and Bayes-Factor-derived classification maps (Figure 6) of social interaction processing and ToM, associated with the paper under the same title (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-026-71151-2).

Miao et al. find that recognizing social interactions in third-person narratives engages canonical brain areas subserving theory of mind. Using theory of mind recruits additional areas linked to action understanding.
