Another is that the most widely available methods — functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and event - related potentials (a variation of electroencephalography)-- reveal only how brain activity and behavior are correlated; their ability to demonstrate cause and effect is limited.

Gow's method of investigating how the human brain perceives and distinguishes among elements of spoken language combines electroencephalography (EEG), which records electrical brain activity; magnetoencephalograohy (MEG), which the measures subtle magnetic fields produced by brain activity, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which reveals brain structure.
