localization
specific parts of the brain have specific functions
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
gives 3D picture of the brains structure
fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging)
shows actual brain activity and which part of the brain are active engaged in a behaviour
lateralisation
2 halves of the brain are functionally different and has different specializations
