Abstract

The article presents a comparative classification of most of the known methods for studying the human brain in clinic and psychophysiology. The informativeness of methods for assessing the state of the brain by electric and magnetic dipoles, as well as by various parameters of blood flow, is discussed. In conclusion, a comparative table of the main methods of neuroimaging is given. The table is based on research levels and time – from milliseconds to several years. The most sensitive methods are EEG, ERPs, MEG, ECoG, the less sensitive ones are fMRI, USDG, NIRS, EDA. PET is even less sensitive. A number of methods exist for the study of nuclei, neurons, synapses and separate sections in biophysics and molecular biology.. Along with general methodological approaches, some historical aspects of the development of methods of clinical neurophysiology are highlighted.
