Lesioning involves destroying or removing a specific part of the brain to study its function. The insertion of a wire that destroys brain cells at the tip is an example of lesioning. ESB (Electrical Stimulation of the Brain) involves sending electrical currents to stimulate specific areas of the brain, while EEG (Electroencephalography) and CT scanning are both diagnostic tools for studying brain activity and structure, respectively, but they do not involve intervention that destroys brain tissue.
