Question

Defining brain activity as the electrical activity of populations of neurons within the brain, list the following methods of measuring brain activity in order from least direct to most direct, with number 1 being the least direct, and number 3 being the most direct. 

1)EEG- scalp-recoreded electroencephalograpy

2)Intracranial electrophyisology

3)functional magnetic resonance imaging

Expert Solution
Step 1: Explaining what is meant by measuring brain activity.

Measuring brain activity is the process of observing and tracking the electrical and metabolic alterations in the brain. Patterns of neuronal activity in the brain can be found and studied using a variety of techniques. These support their research on cognitive processes, brain diseases, sleep disorders, memory loss, emotional disorders, and other processes. Based on how directly they can capture the electrical activity of neurons, various methods like EEG, intracranial electrophysiology, and f MRI can be rated.
