There are numerous types of research methods used when conducting neurological research, all with the purpose of trying to view the activity that occurs within the brain during a certain activity or behavior. The disciplines within which these methods are used is quite broad, ranging from psychology to neuroscience to biomedical engineering to sociology. The following is a list of neuroimaging methods:
Electroencephalography (EEG) Quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) Magnetoencephalography (MEG) Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) Positron emission tomography (PET) Single-unit recording Transcranial direct-current stimulation (TDCS) Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
