Determining whether such mirror neurons exist in humans will require more research, using indirect methods such as functional brain imaging.

判定人类是否有这样的镜像神经元存在需要更多的研究，采用间接的方法例如脑功能成像。

According to the researchers, their findings expand on previous functional brain imaging studies of anticipation, which is at the heart of the musical experience.

研究人员声称，他们的发现扩展了先前有关预期的大脑功能成像的研究，这是音乐体验的核心。

Researchers using functional brain imagery have confirmed that in such situations the blind person activates not only the parts of the cortex devoted to touch, but parts of the visual cortex as well.

利用功能性大脑成像的研究者已经证实在这种情况下，盲人不仅激活了专用于触摸的皮层部分，也有一部分视觉皮层区。

We talked about modern imaging methods and this is an example of an fMRI, a functional MRI; a map of the brain that not only shows you the anatomy of the brain but shows you something about the chemistry of what's going on inside.

我们还说到现代影像技术,这里是一幅脑部功能性磁共振成像图像,一种功能性的磁共振,图中不仅可以看到脑部解剖学图像,也可以看到一些脑内的生化过程

Using functional brain imaging, researchers have found that ambiguity in choices activates the amygdale, the region in our brain that also gets triggered by fear or threat, while at the same time it leads to decreased activity in the striatal system, which responds to potential rewards.

Their view was that although some day to day fluctuation in functional abilities was characteristic of brain damage due to cerebrovascular disease, further sustained functional improvement of a significant degree was unlikely.

BBC: Straw's statement in full

It's based on his work using functional magnetic resonance imaging brain scans that first demonstrated that, when people are asked to imagine themselves in retirement, the parts of their brains that usually "light up" when they think about themselves don't light up at all.
