- Portable and can record while participant is moving BUT light probes cant penerate deep,
provides info about outermost layer of brain, limited spatial resolution
- From fastest slowest: Beta, alpha, theta, delta (mental activities = fast) (sleeping =
slowest)
- Active brain regions produce electrical acivity
- Seizures
-2) PET
- Neuroimaging (brain scanning) technique that measures blood flow in the brain
- Blood flow increases to active brain regions
-3) Fmri
- Neuroimaging technique that measures blood flow changes by deteching oxygenation levels
WHILE person performs task (active = blood flow increases)
-4) MEG
