Researchers have published the first functional magnetic resonance images (fMRI) of activity in a monkey's brain, achieved by patiently training the monkey and designing a special seat to restrain it in the magnet. These studies could ultimately help neuroscientists get more out of human fMR images, and should also benefit traditional electrode studies of monkey brain activity by providing a way to identify the parts of the brain active during certain tasks.
