Outline the limitations of imaging techniques

---

· The techniques have been efficient in localizing the brain area of specific cognitive processes but they are limited in providing time-based analysis of cognition
· Most cognitive activities occur on the order of fractions of seconds and the temporal (time) resolution is nowhere near so they only give a global picture of brain functioning
· It also provides only descriptive information about where the brain activity that accompanies the mental activity taking place but says nothing about individual neurons and how their complex interplay is related is related to the cognitive process
