Electroencephalographs
Functional
Cheep
Measures electrical activity via electrodes
Doesn’t give picture
Computer Tomography (CT)
Structural
Cheep
Shows horizontal picture of brain
Find deformity’s
Bad quality
Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
Functional
Cheep
Builds picture of brain and shows firing by drinking radioactive material
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Structural
Expensive and time consuming
Shows picture of brain using magnetic field that interacts with tissue
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Functional
Expensive and time consuming
Detects changes in blood oxygenation and flow
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Can temporary disrupt and activate tissue without lesion (cutting parts out of brain)
Does same thing with big magnet
