Presentation transcript:

Electroencephalogram (EEG) An amplified recording of the waves of electrical activity that sweep across the brain’s surface; measured by electrodes placed on the scalp

Positron emission tomography (PET) Scan A visual display of brain activity that detects where a radioactive form of glucose goes while the brain performs a given task.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) A technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce computer- generated images Able to distinguish among different types of soft tissue, allowing us to see structures within the brain.

Functional MRI (fMRI) - A technique for revealing blood flow and therefore, brain activity by comparing successive MRI scans
