Body language Quote by Carol Kinsey Goman
““nothing has contributed more to the scientific validity of reading body language than neuroscience and the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses radio waves and a strong magnetic field to take clear and detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues.””
