Figure 2.
Recommendation for the use of non-invasive brain imaging techniques in neurodiagnostics of sport-specific movements. The figure illustrates advantages and disadvantages of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) with regards to spatial resolution (i.e., where certain brain areas/networks are active), temporal resolution (i.e., when certain brain areas/networks are active), robustness against motion artifacts, portability of the neurodiagnostic tool and suitability for analyzing sport-specific movements (indicating implications for neurodiagnostics). Symbols are defined as follows: + +, very high; +, high; -, low; n.a., not applicable.
