Neuroimaging is typically perceived as a resource demanding discipline. While this is the case in certain circumstances, institutions with limited resources have historically contributed significantly to the field of neuroscience, including neuroimaging. In the study of self-deception, we have successfully employed single-pulse TMS to determine the brain correlates of abilities including overclaiming and self-enhancement. Even without the use of neuro-navigation, methods provided here lead to successful outcomes. For example, it was discovered that decreases in self-deceptive responding lead to a decrease in affect. These methods provide data that are reliable and valid, and such methods provide research opportunities otherwise unavailable. Through the use of these methods, the overall knowledge base in the field of neuroscience is expanded, providing research opportunities to students such as those at our institution (Montclair State University is a Hispanic-Serving Institute) who are often denied such research experiences.
神经影像学通常被认为是一个资源密集型学科。虽然在某些情况下确实如此，但历史上，资源有限的机构为神经科学领域做出了重大贡献，包括神经影像学。在自我欺骗的研究中，我们已经成功地使用单脉冲 TMS 来确定包括夸大和自我增强在内的能力的大脑相关性。即使没有使用神经导航，这里提供的方法也能取得成功的结果。例如，研究发现，自我欺骗反应的减少会导致情绪的降低。这些方法提供了可靠和有效的数据，为那些原本无法获得这些研究经验的学生（如我们机构的学生）提供了研究机会。蒙克莱尔州立大学是一所西班牙裔服务机构）。通过使用这些方法，神经科学领域的整体知识库得到了扩展，为学生提供了研究机会，
