The vertical axes illustrate spatial resolution in terms of distance (left) and the corresponding brain structures (right). The horizontal axis illustrates temporal resolution. This graph demonstrates that different techniques provide different advantages and disadvantages. Techniques that involve data collection from human participants tend to operate at relatively coarser spatial scales than those that record from non-human animals. Electrophysiological techniques that provide excellent temporal resolution in human participants (e.g., scalp ERPs) have the disadvantage of relatively lower spatial resolution compared to neuroimaging techniques (e.g., functional MRI).
