PSY372H1 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Diffusion Mri
Document Summary
Neuropsychological approaches: the most theoretically influential neuropsychological case ever was hm, deficits in forming new episodic long-term memory. Functional imaging allows you to see what is happening in the brain: transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms): current is passed through a set of coils close to. Ps head and this results in magnetic field which can polarize or depolarize the underlying brain tissue (turn on and off) Limitations of tmr are that currently it tends to affect a relatively large area: electroencephalography (eeg): recording the ongoing electrical activity of the human brain through electrodes.
