Document Summary
Looking at the brains of people who passed on/people who donated their brains to science. Ex. athletes have been donating their brains to science (brain damage due to sports like hockey/football at a professional level) If you want to study a living person, you have to use other methods. People sometimes have damage on a specific side of the brain (contralateral if you"re hit on the right side, your left side will be the worst-damaged part) Language is largely a left-hemisphere phenomenon (mouth is fine, ears are fine, but you wouldn"t be able to talk there is an area of the brain that is all about speech) Eeg to test people without brain damage (?) Brain waves slow down a lot when doing yoga calmness emits. Non-invasive techniques to assess humans including neuroimaging techniques. Looking at the structure of a person"s brain info about what the brain looks like (there are 2 forms of that)
