EEG is not the only approach. Takeshi Ogawa at the Advanced Telecommunication Research Institute in Kyoto, Japan, is instead using a type of brain scan called functional near-infrared spectroscopy. A cap shines laser light onto the head, and this lights up blood vessels close to the surface of the brain. Light passing through the vessels is measured to give an indication of which areas are actively using oxygen.
