This resource provides information about brain imaging methods and how they allow neuroscientists to see inside the living brain.

This article discusses how researchers use neuroimaging techniques such as EEG and fMRI to observe brain activities while subjects perform various perceptual, motor and/or cognitive activities.

This resource describes brain imaging technologies, such as PET and MRI and their significance in studying the brain to see effects of injuries, diseases, drugs, and other chemicals.

This resource describes what a PET scan is and how it is used to show the brain.

This resource helps students identify the various parts of the nervous system and their respective functions, explain how neurons communicate with each other, and name at least three neuroimaging techniques and describe how they work.

Students will examine the various perspectives in psychology by examinig the behaviors of a celebrity of their choice.  Students will also conduct a cognitive analysis of their celebrity. 

This article discusses how neuroimaging and neuroimaging techniques are used to determine the effects of brain injury or disease on brain systems related to cognition and behavior and to determine how rehabilitation changes brain systems.

In this lesson, students view and discuss video segments from the PBS program, The Human Spark, as they learn about the human brain, including information about brain regions, brain activity, and technologies used to explore the brain. Links to lesson plan and videos are provided.

In this video, students are introduced to a neuroengineer who is developing brain-computer interfaces or devices that can monitor and extract brain activity to enable a machine or computer to accomplish tasks, from playing video games to controlling a prosthetic arm.

This resource describes recent developments that have led to a portable, powerful new technology to help in diagnosing mental illness.

This video introduces the general external topography of the brain. To illustrate the relationship between specific behaviors and brain function, the video begins by showing a racecar driver exercising his skill, and then presents graphic illustrations of the internal activity of his brain. The video reviews several methods of studying brain activity including the CAT scan, PET scan, EEG, and MRI.
