Neuroimaging Flashcards
What neuroimaging techniques have the best temporal resolution
MEG and EEG
what is temporal resolution
time vs activity.
Measuring the time between the measured activity and the neuronal activity, like the quicker it is, the better the TR is.
what is spatial resolution
measuring where in the brain the neuronal activity happens
what are the characteristics of PET neuroimaging
uses drugs to see what normal and abnormal brain is happening while there is an activity being done.
poor temporal resolution
what are the characteristics of EEG neuroimaging
best temporal resoultion, poor spatial resolution.
measures abnormal electrical activity in head thru lil pasties on ur head that are hooked up to a machine
what are the characteristics of fMRI neuroimaging
poor temporal resolution
measures changes in blood oxygen levels during activities
which neuroimaging techniques have the best temporal resolution
EEG and MEG
what neuroimaging technique has the best spatial resolution
fMRI
