Brain scan
Taking images of the living brain.
Brain scans enable researchers to match regions of the
Brain to
Behaviour by asking particpants to complete activities whilst the scan is in progress. Such scans are particulalry useful as they are able to study the living, working
Brain and can identify any abnormalities. However they are still expensive and can be quite uncomfortable for the patient. Examples of
Brain scanning techniques are PET scans, CAT scans and MRI scans.
