Imaging the structure and function of the human brain offers the exciting possibility of explaining the physical basis of mental phenomenon that have intrigued us for centuries, such as cognition, emotion and consciousness. This could also lead to improved methods for diagnosing, preventing and treating neurological and mental illness.
