is a non-invasive method used to stimulate neural activity in studies involving human participants. It generates above the stimulation site, which alters the electrical activity of the target site underneath the scalp.

Describe and compare the three major approaches to studying the relationship between the brain and behaviour.
Three approaches"
1. - study the behavioural consequences of .
2. - study behavioural consequences of . For example (TMS)
3. - measure to behavioural manipulation. Typical methods include MEG (use fields), EEG (uses uptake) and fMRI (uses level).
When comparing 1 and 2, both (ie. control vs group for 1, and before vs after for 2), and measure . Brain lesions are , but effects of stimulation are .
When comparing 1 and 2 vs 3 - 1 and 2 manipulate and measure , but 3 manipulate (engaged vs not engaged) and measures .
