Non-invasive manner

Definition

A non-invasive manner refers to a method or procedure that does not require the insertion of instruments or the breaking of the skin to gather information or perform a task. In the context of understanding the brain, it means studying its structure and function without physically entering the brain.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): This imaging technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of the brain's structure and function.

Electroencephalography (EEG): It measures electrical activity in different areas of the brain by placing electrodes on the scalp. It is non-invasive as it only records external signals produced by brain activity.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI): Similar to MRI, but specifically focuses on changes in blood flow within different parts of the brain, providing insights into its functional activity.
