The occipital cortex is the visual processing center of our brain, located in the rearmost portion of the skull. All the things that we see are processed here (although some processing does also occur before and after the signal arrives). EEG experiments with visual stimuli (videos, images) ...
While many of the individual elements of the default mode network are now better understood, the larger question remains, what does the entire network accomplish? In some sense, the DMN is where I think, and we need certainly a lot more evidence, is where all of these critical components co...
In other words: While ECG/PPG are ideal measures to track emotional arousal, they are not able to reveal emotional valence, the direction of an emotion. The true power of ECG/PPG techniques unfolds as these sensors are combined with other data sources such asfacial expression analysis,EEG, an...

CT or MRI scans of the brain to rule out serious illnesses such as a brain tumor Electrocardiogram (EKG) to diagnose some heart problems Electroencephalogram (EEG) to record electrical activity of the brain Depression Screening Tests After discussing your mood and how it affects your life, your ...
How does an electroencephalogram work? An electroencephalogram (EEG) isa test that detects electrical activity in your brain using small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to your scalp. Your brain cells communicate via electrical impulses and are active all the time, even when you're asleep. This...
Neurophysiology has been a wonderful career choice; I am in a relatively small field with like-minded people who are supportive. There are so many opportunities to learn as we perform such a range of diagnostic tests such as EEG, NCS (nerve conduction studies), IONM (intraoperative ...

Check out:What is EEG and How does it Work What is MRI? MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) provides a map of the brain – how it looks at a set moment in time. This structural information can be useful for determining how the sizes of certain brain areas compare across people, or if th...
