This overview lists all methods that were described during the lectures, e.g. MRS, (f)MRI, (f)NIRS, et cetera.
In this overview, information about the methods is provided within the categories of: Technique, Category, Description, Based on... , Invasive?, Variants, Used for... (a.o.), Comparison...
NOTES:
▪ The “Advantages” and “Disadvantages” column do not contain info about spatial/temporal resolution, even though this could also be seen as a (dis)advantage.
▪ If a cell is empty, the category did not apply to the technique, or it was not mentioned in the lectures.
Spatial resolution = a measure of the smallest object that can be resolved by the sensor; the number of pixels utilized in construction of a digital image.
Temporal resolution = how closely the measured activity corresponds to the timing of the actual neuronal activity.

- Very efficient and everyone can

- Principal component analysis (PCA) =
identify components that explain most
of the variance in the data, only look
at these
- Independent component analysis (ICA)
(see EEG Data analysis)
- Graph theory = use parameters that
