A neural scan displayed
A neural scan was a medical scan used to scan the functions of the brain.
In early 2364, Doctor Beverly Crusher ran a neural scan on Captain Jean-Luc Picard because of his headaches. (TNG: "The Battle")
Dr. Crusher also took a neural scan of the Ornaran Romas and Doctor Paul Manheim later that year. (TNG: "Symbiosis", "We'll Always Have Paris")
Farek conducted a neural scan of Lwaxana Troi in 2366, to determine the origin of her telepathic abilities, hoping to eventually duplicate them. (TNG: "Ménage à Troi")
Julian Bashir once explained to Jake Sisko, who was doing a profile on him in 2373, that he had previously ran a neural scan and noticed anomalous protein readings. (DS9: "Nor the Battle to the Strong")
