Neuroscientific Methods

Neuroscientific methods are techniques used to study the brain and nervous system. They include imaging tools like MRI and PET scans that create detailed pictures of brain activity and structure. Electrophysiological methods, such as EEG, measure electrical signals produced by neurons, revealing how the brain responds to stimuli. Other techniques involve stimulating or disrupting specific brain areas to understand their functions, often using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). These methods help scientists explore how the brain underpins thoughts, emotions, and behavior, advancing our understanding of neural processes in health and disease.
