The document discusses various techniques used to study the relationship between the brain and behavior, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalogram (EEG), and positron emission tomography (PET). Each technique has strengths and limitations, but together they have helped further the understanding of how the brain influences behavior. MRI uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body. fMRI builds on regular MRI to record ongoing brain activity. EEG detects and records minute changes in electrical activity within the brain using electrodes attached to the scalp.

Prisha What exactly am I supposed to know? • The choice of techniques used to correlate the brain with behaviour is based on a variety of factors including opportunity, available technology and cost. There are strengths and limitations to the different techniques used to study the effects of the brain on behavior; however, the contribution of different techniques has helped to understand behavior. Examples of techniques include fMRI, MRI, EEG, CAT, and PET. MRI • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of scan that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the body. An MRI scanner is a large tube that contains powerful magnets. You lie inside the tube during the scan. (it is very scary can confirm) • MRI’s are expensive but they’re becoming more available • Studies that use MRI: 1.Louis Lebornge 2.Draganski et al 3.McGuire et al fMRI (more like vMRI but okay) • fMRIs are a modification of a regular MRI machine. Whereas MRIs simply show the structure of the brain, fMRIs can record ongoing brain activity. • https://youtu.be/3fNf8KX1AlQ • Studies that use Fmri: 1.Fisher, Aron and Brown 2.Antonova 3.Merzenic 4.Shaort et al POP QUIZ What is the full form of EEG? (I for sure know) Electroencephalogram (If any of you ask me to pronounce this I am never helping y’all panic study a day before the exam I swear) EEG • The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a neuroimaging test which can detect and record minute changes in electrical activity within the brain. This is recorded using macroelectrodes (large, flat electrodes stuck to the skin or scalp). • Studies EEG was used in: • 1.
