PSCH 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Electroencephalography, Electrical Resistance And Conductance
Document Summary
Information or data input the brain and the bodily system the brain controls. A technique that records electrical activity coming from the brain that is measurable through the scalp. This technique does not tell you where in the brain the activity is coming from. A technique that measures brain activity in specific regions of the brain while a person is thinking.
