EEG for Measuring Brain Activity
Description
EEG measures brain activity with a non-invasive method. It records electrical signals from neural activity using electrodes placed on the scalp. These signals can change when a person performs a cognitive task, and those changes appear on the EEG graph.
EEG is a useful tool in cognitive research....

Transcript
Electroencephalography, or EEG, is an electrophysiological technique commonly used by researchers studying cognition. The brain constantly generates electrical activity, which can occur spontaneously, or when induced by stimulation. EEG is a noninvasive, portable and inexpensive technique that can detect and quantify changes...
