Any suggestions on which kind of brain scan shows the frequency of thoughts?

None: Although there are some functional MRIs that can map which part of your brain is active under different circumstances, there are no tests to monitor the frequency of thought.

Great idea: Orange&Blue, that's a terrific idea. If you manage to invent such a scan, you'll win Nobel Prizes in Physiology & Medicine AND Physics, not to mention the Galactic Academy of Science's Award for Extreme Cleverness.
