The types of sensors which receiving Brain Signal

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on exploring alternative methods for collecting brain signals without using EEG or fMRI in a research experiment examining brain stimulation through electricity. The initial suggestion of using MEG is deemed ineffective due to the interference between electric and magnetic fields. A viable alternative mentioned is Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), which offers a non-invasive way to assess brain function by measuring changes in blood hemoglobin concentrations linked to neural activity. NIRS is portable and can be used on infants, making it advantageous for studies involving freely moving subjects. However, it is noted that NIRS cannot fully replace fMRI, as it is limited to scanning cortical tissue, whereas fMRI can assess brain activation more broadly.

Hi :)
I'm designing a research and need you guys's help :)
It's an experiment to finding out what happens in our brain when we are stimulated by electricity.

I have to collect the signals from brain, but not using EEG.
(I already failed once...:'( )
I've been thinking about MEG, but it dosen't seems bringing good result 'cause you know, electric/magnetic fields are so mutual..

So could you notice us if there are any other sensors which can collect brain signal??
(It's small experiment so enormous equipment like (f)MRI couldn't be used..)

Thank you a lot. :D Have a nice day :D

I'm sorry you are not finding help at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us?

Also there are optical methods ...

NIRS can be used for non-invasive assessment of brain function through the intact skull in human subjects by detecting changes in blood hemoglobin concentrations associated with neural activity, e.g., in branches of Cognitive psychology as a partial replacement for fMRI techniques. NIRS can be used on infants, and NIRS is much more portable than fMRI machines, even wireless instrumentation is available, which enables investigations in freely moving subjects. However, NIRS cannot fully replace fMRI because it can only be used to scan cortical tissue, where fMRI can be used to measure activation throughout the brain.

I’ve spent nearly my entire life online, and witnessed AI become integrated into our lives. It’s clear that AI is apart of us now whether we like it or not, unless your a anti tech cabin lover. AI has some form of control over your life. But what I’ve seen very recently is that people are loosing their ingenuity and deciding to use AI. I feel as if it’ll bleed into STEM which is kinda has already and, every idea or thought could become fully reliant on AI. Yeah AI makes life easier but at a...
