- Ways of investigating the brain
- Post-Mort examination
- involves dissecting the brain of a person who has died. Thus, allowing the researcher to look at the internal structure within the brain. Therefore, allowing them t identify structure within the brain that may be involved in specific functions
- Functional Magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
- Indirectly measures blood flow through the concentration of 02 in the blood stream
- Electroencephalogram (EEG)
- electrodes placed over surface o the skull, pick up millions of neurons by measuring amplitude and frequency.
- Even-related potentials (ERPs)
- Uses similar array of recording electrodes like EEG. However, stimulus us presented to participate to look at specific electrical response
- Post-Mort examination
