Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Contrast Dependent on Blood Oxygenation

Ogawa, Lee, Kay & Tank

Demonstrates that deoxyhemoglobin acts as an endogenous contrast agent in MRI, the blood-oxygenation-dependent effect that became the basis of functional brain imaging.

Paper1992

Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Human Brain Activity During Primary Sensory Stimulation

Kwong et al.

Shows that MRI can detect localised signal changes in human visual cortex during simple sensory stimulation without any injected contrast agent, the first demonstration of functional MRI in humans.
