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)
