Neuroimaging & Measurement

Brain scans and electrical recordings give scientists different ways to study the nervous system. EEG records electrical activity at the scalp. Functional magnetic resonance imaging usually tracks changes in blood oxygenation that accompany neural activity.

This category covers those methods, along with brain stimulation, brain-computer interfaces, and the measurements used to interpret results. That includes how quickly the brain responds to something and how activity in one area relates to activity elsewhere.
