Electroencephalography (EEG)
- The EEG is used to measure the electrical activities of the brain. The process is non-invasive and is done through the scalp with flat metal electrodes.
- Though due to its non-invasiveness what it shows is relatively limited, but regardless it is a valuable tool for analyzing brain dynamics over time.
- It helps indicate one's mental processes, mental state, and assists in diagnosing conditions like epilepsy or sleep disorder.

Using Emission Computed Tomography
To use the ECT method is to inject radioactive atoms into the person's bloodstream and have them circulated into the brain. The energy emitted is monitored by external devices that provide information about their concentration in the brain. Lastly, a mathematical model allows the data on radiatio...
