Neuroimaging Methods

This is a gallery of methods of non- and low-invasive functional brain imaging methods. It contains the effects the methods are based on, small literature reviews for each method, and diagrams of what's happening during imaging. The diagrams are intended to be analogous to Feynman diagrams in particle physics. In principle, you can compute the effective dimensionality of the methods based solely on the diagrams from here, and after enumerating enough effects and constructing rules on the graphs, there will be a one-to-one correspondence of the diagrams to imaging methods. We'll have that. At some point. Probably.
