07 Ch 2 - Brain Imaging Techniques

The allows researchers to look at the activity of the surface of the brain through electrodes places on the scalp.

These are computer-aided x-rays of the brain that show a great deal of brain structure.

These use a magnetic field and a computer to give researchers a picture of a slice of the brain from any angle.

These allow researchers to look at the activity of the brain during various mental tasks by producing a "video."

These use radioactive sugar injected into the bloodstream to tract the activity of brain cells, which is enhanced and color-coded by a computer.

This technology is good for sleep research.

This technology is the LEAST helpful to look at the brain's tissues.

This technology does NOT require a high degree of radiation exposure.

This technology is most useful to show structural damage from a brain tumor or brain damage.

This technology cannot be used on someone with metal in their body.
