Noun

 * 1) Functional magnetic resonance imaging.
 * 2) * 1999 &mdash; Hofmann E, Prelbisch C, Knaus C, Müller J, Kremser C, Teissl C (1999). "Noninvasive Direct Stimulation of the Cochlear Nerve for Functional MR Imaging of the Auditory Cortex" (PDF). American Journal of Neuroradiology 20:1972. PMID 10588127. Retrieved 5 February 2016.
 * Acoustic stimulation of the primary auditory cortex and the associated areas has been reported in the functional MR imaging literature (6). Functional MR imaging used to study the auditory cortex is hampered by the loud noise inherent in echo-planar imaging sequences.
