Book excerpt: Presented here are the results of functional magnetic resonance imaging of motor and visual cortical areas performed at 4 Tesla. Subjects executed a cued, visually guided motor task. Activation was detected in the primary motor cortex, the supplementary motor area, the premotor cortex, the somatic-sensory cortex, the posterior parietal cortex, the primary visual cortex, and the middle temporal area. A method for measuring the time interval between onset of the average blood oxygenation level dependent response in the primary visual and motor cortices is proffered. On average, the measured time interval was shown to correlate with the kinematically measured visuomotor reaction time. The same method was used to measure delays in primary visual cortex of each hemisphere in an experiment where there were known delays between half-field visual stimuli. The measured time interval is shown to correlate with stimulus lag over a range of delays from 0-1000 ms.
