Abstract

For more than a century. neuroimaging is used to perform diagnostic tests, imaging exams for clinical investigations, among others. Psychology follows this path focusing on evidence-based techniques, however, when the subject is neuroimaging, few psychologists working in the area are interested in the topic or even minimally understand how it works and what this type of knowledge is used for. In this article we bring a little of the need for a psychologist, especially if he is a neuropsychologist or working with cognitive deficits, the importance of having this type of technical knowledge to improve their clinical performance and research.
