EEG- electroencephalogram
electrodes placed on the skull- mostly measures summed synaptic excitation/inhibition on dendrites of cortical pyramidal neurons
1 of 13
iEEG- intracranial EEG
placing electrodes on the surface of the brain
2 of 13
ECoG-electrocorticography
type of iEEG- recording from the cortical surface using subdural electrodes/ grid electrodes
3 of 13
local field potential (LFP)
is an electrophysiological signal generated by the summed electric current flowing from multiple nearby neurons within a small volume of nervous tissue
4 of 13
sampling frequency in analog-digital (A/D) conversion
action potentials (duration 1ms or less) need to be sampled at much higher rates (~20KHz)
5 of 13
Spectral (Fourier) analysis:
decomposing EEG signals into their constituent frequencies- which frequency is dominating
6 of 13
Phase synchrony ("coherence")
infere cross-regional interactions- found less synchronous activity in frontal and parietal lobes in schizophrenia patients
7 of 13
Depth electrodes
occurs in epileptic patients- locate seizures
8 of 13
bandpass filtered signal
signal separated into individual frequency waves
9 of 13
Spectrogram
- shows the power of the different frequencies at different time points
10 of 13
Tetrodes
can discriminate between neuron activity- based on spacial information- place cell activity- can predict location of rat
11 of 13
JUXTA recording- from single neurones
inject dye into active neuron- fixation purfuse tissue- immunohistochemistry
12 of 13
Intracellular recording- from single electrode
impale neuron- can measure synaptic events with higher resolution
