In the past decade, the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has grown, both in the number of studies published and in the number of disciplines finding application for functional brain research facilitated by this data-gathering method. A review of fMRI research in perceptual grouping and figure/ground and in visual search and attention is of interest in the effort to understand the human use of maps. These studies provide physiological evidence that can at least tentatively be interpreted as supporting principles in map design. Although they are not specifically cartographic, these studies dovetail with some of the human-user research in cartography. The question of how these studies of very specific phenomena, using very limited graphics, fit the overall picture of map use is an open one. At the very least, they provide an additional window into the processes of map use
