Abstract
The early 90’s were an extremely exciting time for functional MRI. The first hints that one could non-invasively measure blood oxygenation level-dependent changes with activation came out of the MGH and Minnesota groups. I was a graduate student at the Medical College of Wisconsin, working closely with Eric Wong and under the direction of Jim Hyde. Thanks to the coming together of technical expertise at MCW, this group was able to jump into fMRI at a very early stage! This is the story of the beginnings of fMRI from the MCW perspective.
