PET scan (positron emission tomography) is the technique used to show an image depicting the amount of activity taking place in various parts of the brain. This is because PET scan measures the amount of glucose uptake in different areas of the brain, indicating levels of neural activity. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and CT scan (computed tomography) provide structural images of the brain, while EEG (electroencephalography) measures electrical activity in the brain.
