EEG

. EEG. Standard placements of electrodes on the human scalp: A, auricle; C, central; F, frontal; Fp, frontal pole; O, occipital; P, parietal; T, temporal.. . EEG. . EEG. . EEG. Many neurons need to sum their activity in order to be detected by EEG electrodes. The timing of their activity is crucial. Synchronized neural activity produces larger signals..

    22. Sensing Techniques-Cat Scans Cat Scans use x-rays to show structures Really precise maps Hard to determine functions

    24. Sensing Techniques-PET Radioactive element decays, gives off positron Positron moves a short distance and gives off two gamma rays in opposite directions

    25. Sensing Techniques-PET Because 180 degrees apart, can isolate a slice of the brain Detectors detect arriving gamma rays, and because of the timeing involved they can figure out where the original decay was Radioactive materials carried by glucose- used by brain when it it working More glucose = more brain activity An indirect measure of brain functioning- but studies brain functioning none-the-lessBecause 180 degrees apart, can isolate a slice of the brain Detectors detect arriving gamma rays, and because of the timeing involved they can figure out where the original decay was Radioactive materials carried by glucose- used by brain when it it working More glucose = more brain activity An indirect measure of brain functioning- but studies brain functioning none-the-less

    26. PET Scans Left scan: Eyes closed Middle scan: White light Right scan: Complex scene See increasing activity in Occipital lobesLeft scan: Eyes closed Middle scan: White light Right scan: Complex scene See increasing activity in Occipital lobes

    27. PET Scans Episodic Task: remembering an experience that happened 40 years ago Semantic task: thinking about the history of astronomy that was learned 40 years ago Red:above-average blood flow, yellow: average blood flow, green: below-average blood flow. Difference: Red: greater activation during episodic task, Green: greadter activation during semantic taskEpisodic Task: remembering an experience that happened 40 years ago Semantic task: thinking about the history of astronomy that was learned 40 years ago Red:above-average blood flow, yellow: average blood flow, green: below-average blood flow.

    28. PET Scans

    39. Sensing Techniques-fMRI Functional Magnetic Nuclear Resonance Imaging Similar to Pet, uses radio frequency information given off by water Gives better time (6 seconds) and spatial (2 mm) resolution than Pet or Cat scans Technology still under revision Slight danger to subjects Expensive ($300 an hour)

    40. fMRI Method

    41. MRI Scans

    42. MRI Scans

    50. Summary Appropriate technology depends on question ERP has good temporal resolution CAT, Pet, MRI have good to fair spatial resolution, only PET has any functional capture fMRI has reasonably good spatial, reasonably good temporal, but is expensive
