Which is Brain Mapping Test ? Is it different than CT Scan or MRI or PET ? What does it detect ? plz help?

maps what parts are working to capacity and which arent.

Brain mapping is a neuroscience area of research and clinical applications, which studies and develops advanced techniques for imaging, representation, analysis, visualization and interpretation of brain imaging and meta data.

Computed tomography (CT), originally known as computed axial tomography (CAT or CT scan) and body section roentgenography, is a medical imaging method employing tomography where digital geometry processing is used to generate a three-dimensional image of the internals of an object from a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), formerly referred to as Magnetic Resonance Tomography (MRT) or Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), is a method used to visualize the inside of living organisms as well as to detect the composition of geological structures. It is primarily used to demonstrate pathological or other physiological alterations of living tissues and is a commonly used form of medical imaging.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear medicine medical imaging technique which produces a three dimensional image or map of functional processes in the body.

It is mainly used to diagnose medical conditions.
