Detailed explanation-1: -The first neuroimaging technique ever is the so-called ‘human circulation balance’ invented by Angelo Mosso in the 1880s and able to non-invasively measure the redistribution of blood during emotional and intellectual activity.

Detailed explanation-2: -A cranial CT scan of the head is a diagnostic tool used to create detailed pictures of the skull, brain, paranasal sinuses, and eye sockets.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is brain imaging technology? The year 1924 marked the first human electroencephalography (EEG), recorded by German psychiatrist Hans Berger. This early EEG was able to detect electrical waves in the brain that would rise and fall as different brain cells communicated with each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -Computed Tomography Scan (CT) scans use a series of X-ray beams passed through the head. The images are then developed on sensitive film. This method creates cross-sectional images of the brain and shows the structure of the brain, but not its function.
