PSYB65H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Brain Tumor, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Neuroimaging
Document Summary
Input occurs in the environment and it results in cognitive changes and then the response happens: for example, a question is asked to you, what is your name? . You think about the question, it"s language, etc and then reply, my name is george . How neuroimaging applies: first thing is to carefully design an experiment, used to evaluate a mental process, helps to test a certain thing. Neurophysiology - single cell recordings: neurophysiology: has a lot of techniques that allow one to study non-human species, such as animals, for different aspects of brain function. For example, a dog and a pig: they also have damage visually and cannot recognize things, when it happens in humans, it does not involve humans having sex with non-humans, however, humans have difficulty recognizing things visually. Cognitive neuroimaging: medical uses (clinical), trying to find out a problem in the brain. Structural mri: a big tunnel-like machine is used with a magnetic field.
