In studying the brains of people that have died we have only a limited opportunity to see the effects that parts of the brain have on certain behaviors. We can make assumptions from the damage that we observe about the cause of certain behaviors. This correlational study does not prove cause and effect. In studying subjects that are alive through the use of EEG, CAT, MRI, and PET scans, we have the advantage of actually looking at brain functions while the subject performs certain tasks. The assumption here would be that different tasks would produce effects on different areas of the brain.
