fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) allows for the assessment of real-time activity in various brain structures, including lower brain structures, by measuring changes in blood flow related to neural activity. Unlike EEG, which primarily records electrical activity from the cerebral cortex, fMRI can provide detailed images of deep brain structures.
