EEG captures the brain’s electrical activity, making it ideal for studying brain functions over short timeframes. It is often used to monitor sleep, diagnose epilepsy, and cognition functions. EEG offers high temporal resolution but lacks spatial detail.


Key Features:

MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the brain’s structure. Functional MRI (fMRI) tracks brain activity by measuring blood flow. MRI is used where spatial resolution is important like in brain mapping, diagnostics, and understanding disorders.


KKey Features:



MEG measures the magnetic fields produced by neural activity. With its strong temporal and spatial resolution, it is a powerful tool for investigating brain functions. However, its use require highly specialized equipment and controlled environments.


Key Features:


NIBS includes techniques such as TMS and TES, which use electrical or magnetic fields to modulate brain activity. These methods are employed in research and clinical settings to gain causal insights into brain function and to treat neurological and psychiatric conditions, including depression.


Key Features:


Neuroimaging has brought new insights into the science of deception. 

By analyzing brain activity, researchers are exploring ways to detect lies through methods like EEG and fMRI. 

This section dives into the science behind lie detection, current capabilities, and future potential.
