This report for TA-SWISS, the Swiss Centre for Technology Assessment, was the first technology assessment of neuroimaging. It explains CT, MRI, PET, SPECT, EEG, MEG, TMS and NIRS and the limits of what they show, then reviews safety, costs, informed consent and incidental findings, uses from Alzheimer's diagnosis to education, neuroeconomics and forensic psychology, legal questions, and policy recommendations.
It suits readers interested in the reach and ethics of brain measurement. Neurofeedback clinicians may find the sections on validity limits and EEG safety a sober reference point when clients ask what a brain scan can prove.
