| Recording | Placing electrodes into the brain to identify the neurological activity that occurs during human processes |
| Stimulation | When electrodes are used to set off the firing of neurons in order to see what portions of the brain effect individual human processes |
| Accidents | When psychologists use damaging events to understand how damage effects the brain. A great example of this would be Phineas Gage. |
| Lesions | When scientists cut into or destroy parts of a brain to see what cognitive and physiological effects it has |
| Images | Whn images and scans are taken of the brain and neurological activity in order to map out the functions of the brain |
| Paul Broca | Scientist that theorized that when segements of the brain are damaged, they have an ill effect on human function. |
| Phineas Gage | after receiving substantial damage to the frontal lobe of the brain, this accident was used to study the effects of damage in relation to abilities. |
| EEG | Measures brainwave activity and visualizes it to see the functions of the brain |
