The doctors keeping notes, using tests, and conducting interviews indicates a clinical study was conducted on Phineas Gage's brain injury. Ablation (the removal of brain tissue), ESB (electrical stimulation of the brain), and FMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) were likely not used at the time of Phineas Gage's injury in the 1800s.
