[Abstract] This article summarized some problems which were found when I review manuscripts of clinical functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies. These problems were listed in the following order: Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, Discussion, and English Abstract. I hope these personal views would be helpful to fMRI researchers.
[Keywords] Functional magnetic resonance imaging;Resting-state;Data processing
