Invasive methods of studying the brain involve physically inserting instruments or substances into the brain, such as electrodes or drugs. Noninvasive methods, on the other hand, allow for studying the brain without direct penetration, using techniques like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) or electroencephalography (EEG).
Noninvasive ventilation provides respiratory support without the need for an artificial airway, typically through a mask or nasal prongs. In contrast, invasive ventilation requires the insertion of a tube into the airway, usually through the mouth or nose, to provide respiratory support. Noninvasive ventilation is often preferred when possible to reduce the risks associated with invasive ventilation.
Noninvasive means not invasive. It means you don't get anything invading you or whatever is being looked at. For instance, a sonogram (the so-called ultrasound) is a noninvasive medical imaging procedure.
A person could have a seizure while having an EEG, but that does not mean the EEG is the cause. The EEG is just recording the brain activity. During the course of an EEG a patient is exposed to different things to see what way the brain behaves, like getting the patient to breathe heavily or flashing lights at them.
Home inspections are always noninvasive. The reason is that the home inspection is typically done for the benefit of the buyer, and they don't own the home... Yet. Obviously one could perform a far more comprehensive home inspection if allowed to remove all of the floor coverings and get a good look at the floor system - checking for signs of movement, pest and water damage, etc., but that's just not possible and the owner, or seller would certainly not appreciate having their house torn up during the home inspection!

If you can do a noninvasive procedure versus an invasive procedure, the attending physician, if any good at all, will always go with the noninvasive technique. If ever a noninvasive procedure can be done, it will always out weigh the invasive procedure.

Yes, there are noninvasive prcedures that are considered treatment, such as procedures to treat varicose veins. There are also treatments that are considered minimally invasive.

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is the most common instrument used to measure brain activity by recording electrical patterns in the brain. EEG is non-invasive and helps in diagnosing conditions like epilepsy, sleep disorders, and brain injuries.
X-Rays, CTs, MRI, FMRI, ultrasound scans, EEG, and EKG would be considered non-invasive imaging and studies as they don't require surgery, or any invasive procedures. Some procedures such as PET Scans or Angiography would be minimally invasive as contrasts and dyes are injected. A colonoscopy might also fall into that category.
