List of neurological research methods

There are numerous types of research methods used when conducting neurological research, all with the purpose of trying to view the activity that occurs within the brain during a certain activity or behavior. The disciplines within which these methods are used is quite broad, ranging from psychology to neuroscience to biomedical engineering to sociology. The following is a list of neuroimaging methods:

• Electroencephalography (EEG)

• Quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG)
• Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)

• Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
• Magnetoencephalography (MEG)
• Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
• Positron emission tomography (PET)
• Single-unit recording
• Transcranial direct-current stimulation (TDCS)
• Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
