Claim 2:
3. The method in claim 1 wherein the biological object is a human brain and activity mapping of the human brain is implemented in accordance with the following steps:
emitting a beam of coherent MASER radiation by an emitter array and passing the emitted beam through a collimator;
splitting of the collimated MASER beam into a probe beam and a reference beam;
passing the probe beam through a head and a brain of a patient to create a post-engagement beam and simultaneously passing the reference beam through a uniform substance resulting in a delay of the reference beam similar to that of the probe beam caused by the head of the patient in order to generate a lagged reference beam;
combining the lagged reference beam and the post-engagement beam to create a convolved beam characterized by a time-shifting interference pattern;
detecting the time-shifting interference pattern in the convolved beam by a detector array;
de-convolving the interference pattern to quantify changes in phase, modulation, amplitude, and lag between the post-engagement beam and the lagged reference beam to generate a holographic perspective map;
populating a voxel map with the processed data for the slice of time from the given holographic perspective and repeating this step from multiple holographic perspectives in accordance with a synthetic aperture algorithm;
associating the voxel map with an image generated by an MRI or CT scan to create a three-dimensional energy activity map for the given time slice.
