Document Summary
Thursdays lecture class notes pages 1- 6. Chapter outline: how do scientists study the nervous system, how does the nervous system work, how do neurons work, how is the nervous system organized, structures of the brain, brain side, neurological diseases. Electroencephalograms (eeg) recording brain activity from the surface of. Testing the behaviour of patients with brain damage. the scalp. Neuroimaging techniques that show visual images in awake humans. Listening to the brain: single neurons and the eeg. Electroencephalogram (eeg): a device used to record electrical activity in the brain. Can determine the amount of brain activity as individuals engage in a task or perform psychological functions. Recording brain waves, brain activity from the surface of the scalp: action potentials are electrical, measures electrical brain activity at the scalp, highly non-invasive, high temporal resolution, low spatial resolution. Neuroimaging techniques use advanced technology to create images of the living, healthy brain.
