## Abstract In the course of daily living, changing environmental demands often make our actions, once initiated, unnecessary or even inappropriate. Under such circumstances, the ability to inhibit the obsolete action and to update behavior can be of vital importance. Previous lesion and neuroimagi

β¦ Synopsis
Event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (erfMRI) was employed to measure the hemodynamic response during a Go/No-go task in 16 healthy subjects. The task was designed so that Go and No-go events were equally probable, allowing an unbiased comparison of cerebral activity during these two types of trials. In accordance with prediction, anterior cingulate was active during both the Go and No-go trials, dorsolateral and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex was more active during the No-go trials, while primary motor cortex, supplementary motor area, pre-motor cortex and cerebellum were more active during Go trials. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that the anterior cingulate cortex is principally engaged in making and monitoring of decisions, while dorsolateral and ventral lateral prefrontal sites play a specific role in response inhibition.

We investigated the extent of hemodynamic recovery following the paired presentation of either identical or different faces at two different inter-stimulus intervals (ISI). Signal recovery was consistently better at an ISI of 6 sec compared to 3 sec. Significantly less signal recovery was associated

## Abstract Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) suffers from many problems that make signal estimation difficult. These include variation in the hemodynamic response across voxels and low signalβtoβnoise ratio (SNR). We evaluate several analysis techniques that address these problems for e
