Electroencephalography Explained (EEG Scan) | Brain Imagining Techniques

Discover how scientists explore the human brain using powerful imaging techniques. This video series explains all the brain imaging methods, highlighting what each technique measures, how it works, and its strengths and limitations in psychological research. Here are the brain imaging techniques grouped into the four main categories:

#brainimaging #eeg

1. Structural Brain Imaging
- CT (Computed Tomography)
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
- DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging)

2. Functional Brain Imaging
- fMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
- PET (Positron Emission Tomography)
- SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography)
- fNIRS (Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy)

3. Electrophysiological Techniques
- EEG (Electroencephalography)
- ERP (Event-Related Potentials)
- MEG (Magnetoencephalography)
- ECoG (Electrocorticography)

4. Advanced / Specialized Techniques
- MRS (Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy)
- TMS-MRI combined imaging
- Functional Ultrasound Imaging (fUS)
- Calcium Imaging
- Two-Photon Microscopy
- Optogenetic Imaging
- Photoacoustic Imaging
- Voltage-Sensitive Dye Imaging
