Paul Broca and other physicians used the method of studying the behavior of patients who had experienced brain injuries to locate specific brain functions. This approach was more scientific than phrenology, which relied on studying the shape and size of the human skull to determine personality traits and intelligence. The use of electricity to stimulate different brain regions and surgical removal of brain regions came later as techniques for studying brain function.
