What does Electroencephalography do?
Track anatomical structure
Examines neurons to track electrical signals in the brain
Detect lesions early
Make images of the brain
This image uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce computer-generated images that distinguish among different types of brain tissue.
MRI
PET
EEG
CAT scan
This scan is best suited for looking at soft tissues such as ligaments and tendons, the brain, and many of the internal organs.
MRI
PET
X-Ray
EEG
This is a technique for measuring and mapping brain activity that is noninvasive and safe.
EEG
X-Ray
fMRI
CAT scan
The attractions of this image have made it popular for imaging normal brain function. Over the last decade it has provided new insight to the investigation of how memories are formed, language, pain, learning and emotion.
MRI
fMRI
EEG
X-Ray
The allows researchers to look at the activity of the surface of the brain through electrodes places on the scalp.
