Question 3

wernickes area

Answer 3

comprehension of language
frontal lobe

Question 4

observations of brain activity

Answer 4

blood flow increases to active area
changes in pulsation

Question 5

early brain “scans” MOSSO human circulation balance

Answer 5

said if someone was on a pivot table, it would pivot down towards brain as it would weigh more with more blood in it

Question 6

who recorded the first EEG electrical signal

Answer 6

BERGER

Question 7

CT/ CAT

Answer 7

x-rays
used to find areas of damage as shows density of brain
+cheap
+non invasive
+ok spatial

Question 8

MRI

Answer 8

sectional images
used behaviour of protons to create images
+ high spatial resolution

Question 9

LONDON TAXI DRIVERS - MRI study

Answer 9

larger hippocampus than control group - memory of all the routes, neural plasticity

Question 10

FMRI

Answer 10

watched brain activity during task - shows area related to function
oxygen levels/ blood flow
+ 1mm spatial - amazing
- claustrophobic

Question 11

EEG

Answer 11

electrical signals from scalp
32-256 electrode channels
electrical signals to specific stimuli
- poor spatial resolution

Question 12

ERP

Answer 12

measures neural responses to stimulus
+ good temp resolution
- spatial res
