Brain mapping is the process of creating a map of the brain. This can be done using a variety of techniques, but the most common is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). fMRI measures brain activity by detecting changes in blood flow. When a brain region is active, it requires more oxygen, which in turn causes an increase in blood flow. By measuring these changes in blood flow, fMRI can create a map of brain activity.
