EEG (Okt 15 and 22 lectures) Flashcards
What does ERP stand for?
Event-Related Potential
Who studied the electrical properties of the nervous system and found evidence for fine localization of function in the cortex (by stimulating dogs–> involuntary movement)
Gustav Fristch & Eduard Hitzig
What is David Ferrier known for?
He stimulated dogs and monkeys and located precise areas for motor control
What is Richard Caton known for?
He measured precise activity of the brain (without stimulation) in dogs–birth of EEG (1875)
