Examples of studies employing spinal cord fMRI:.

Healthy (uninjured) volunteers: Motor taste (hand, and leg) (Kornelsen and Stroman, 2004; Maieron et al., 2007; Stroman and Ryner, 2001; Stroman et al., 1999).
Thermal stimulation (hand, leg) (Stroman, 2009; Stroman and Cahill, 2006; Stroman and Ryner, 2001; Stroman et al., 2001, 2004b, 2011).
Thermal pain (Brooks et al., 2008, 2012; Cahill and Stroman, 2011; Eippert et al., 2009a, 2009b; Sprenger et al., 2012; Stroman et al., 2001, 2002a,b; Summers et al., 2010).
Electrical stimulation (Xie et al., 2012).
Vibration (Lawrence et al., 2008).
Light touch (Agosta et al., 2009c; Ghazni et al., 2010; Summers et al., 2010).
Sensitization with capsaicin (Ghazni et al., 2010).
Event-related fMRI with brief thermal stimulation (Figley and Stroman, 2012).
Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome: Pressure on affected median nerve (Leitch et al., 2009, 2010).
Patients with spinal cord injuries: Thermal sensory stimulation (hands, legs) (Stroman et al., 2002c, 2003, 2004a).
Leg motor taste (active and passive) (Kornelsen and Stroman, 2007).
Patients with multiple sclerosis: Thermal sensory stimulation (Agosta et al., 2008b; Valsasina et al., 2010).
Proprioception (Agosta et al., 2008b; Valsasina et al., 2010).
Hand motor taste (Agosta et al., 2008b; Valsasina et al., 2010).
