The human brain has become a main target of scientific explorations. X-rays (X-CT), magnetic resonances (MRI), radioisotope tracing (SPECT and PET) and recordings of electrical activities (EEG and MEG) has been extensively used to image regional brain topology of function as well as anatomy. Basic techniques and utilities of these instruments are reviewed and possible applications for mind science are discussed.
