Abstract

Investigating the living brain, and in particular relating its activity to behavior is one of the most important challenges in neuroscience. Researchers use many different techniques to explore this relationship. Careful observation of patients with brain lesions or neuroimaging methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), or near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS) are examples of procedures which allow researchers to make inferences about brain activity in a non-invasive way.
