Document Summary
The idea that brain function can be estimated by measuring the skull. When we cut out a part of the brain and we see what happens. Cutting into very specific parts of the brain to see what will happen. Electrically stimulating the brain of a conscious patient. A number of quick images taken of the brain. Readings stimulate a certain neuron or area of the brain to see. Readings from a large group of what will happen electrodes. Using electrodes to record the activity of a neuron (a single cell) Measures a blood-oxygen dependent signal to see which areas are most active. Radioactive glucose tracers are injected into the patient to see which parts of the brain use the most glucose. Brain activity is measured using an electrode cap; measures event-related potentials many times. When someone will ignore the left side of the world.
