Non-invasive Methods in Neuroscience, fMRI, MEG, EEG

This video is an overview of common ways to peer inside brain without brain surgery. These methods rely on the fact that neurons communicate with each other by electrical activity, so we can pick up on some hints of this electrical activity outside the skull using magnetic and electronic measurements. These methods are used for scientific research and clinical applications, in humans and non-human animals.

We highlight the most common methods, including function magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and electroencephalography (EEG), and discuss their strengths, limitations, and tradeoffs.
