Pet is "Positron Emmision Tomography. But it has a 2mm accuracy, as that is the average distance a gamma ray travels before impact and emission of positron; giving a rather fuzzy picture of brain activity with respect to tagged molecules. Or is it the other way around... So confusing..Now, EEG, "electro"... there's a measurement that an EE can handle...
Actually, they do PET stuff here. I give tours to the college students and professors occasionally, and sometimes I actually learn about it.
But, what scares me is the fact that the medical people who do the research have no idea how the systems interact, and sometimes that can bias the results.
