Another method widely used is case studies (e.g. a person with an extraordinary
memory, people with brain damage). This enables the researchers study conditions
that might be impossible or unethical to conduct in laboratory circumstances.
Since cognitive processes are localized in the brain, modern neuroimaging
technologies (CAT, fMRI) offer possibilities to look into the ongoing brain processes.
Neuroscientists can now study which brain areas are active during cognitive

data to support cognitive models.
Discuss ethical considerations related to research studies at the cognitive level of
