Making brains work with the 3 T’s of brain stimulation: TMS, TES, and TUS
At the Donders Institute, we use several methods to induce or disturb brain activity and investigate its consequences.
Using MRI to study brain anatomy, communication and chemistry
MRI can give us a detailed picture of brain anatomy, a map of communication pathways, and even a measure of different chemicals in the brain. Read on to find out how.
Measuring brain activity with EEG or MEG: Millions of tiny batteries in your brain?
At the Donders Institute, we use EEG or MEG to measure brain activity. These tools use special equipment to detect the electric current or magnetic field that brain cells generate.
How do we measure brain activity with an MRI scanner?
At the Donders Institute, we use functional MRI to map brain activity. We do this by measuring the increase in oxygenated blood that accompanies neuronal activity.
