Q

Strengths of Single Unit Measurement

A

Strengths: High temporal and spatial resolution

17
Q

Strengths of PET and fMRI

A

Strengths: Non invasive and high spatial resolution

18
Q

Weaknesses of EEG AND MEG

A

Weaknesses: Low spatial resolution and requires synchronised activity of large amount of neurons and only picks up some activity

19
Q

Weaknesses of SIngle Unit measurement

A

Weaknesses: Usually only on animals who are killed afterwards

20
Q

Weaknesses of PET and fMRI

A

Weaknesses: Low temporal resolution and expensive
