Non-invasive brain imaging techniques like positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) offer powerful insights into brain function during tasks. This review details their principles, assumptions, limitations, and applications.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Brain Mapping

Background:

  • Non-invasive spatial mapping techniques have advanced brain operation insights during task performance over the past 20 years.
  • Key technologies include positron emission tomography (PET), electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) source localization, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the physical principles of PET and fMRI.
  • To make explicit the assumptions and limitations of these neuroimaging techniques.
  • To briefly indicate the range of applications for PET and fMRI.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established non-invasive neuroimaging technologies.
  • Focus on Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).
