EEG (Electroencephalography), is a test used to detect abnormalities related to
electrical activity of the brain.
Among other things, the decade - long mission aims to develop new technologies for studying
the electrical activity of the brain in action.
Electroencephalography is the neurophysiologic measurement of
the electrical activity of the brain by recording from electrodes placed on the scalp or, in special cases, on the cortex.
The participants were asked to recall some of the word pairs ten minutes later, then left to sleep overnight while the researchers recorded
the electrical activity of their brains.
The findings could have significant implications for the development of brain - computer interfaces and neuro - prosthetics, which would allow a person to control a prosthetic device by tapping into
the electrical activity of their brain.
Rafael Yuste, a neurobiologist and co-director of the Institute, says the «holy grail» of neuroscience is a «map of
the electrical activity of the brain.»
A thorough understanding of the underlying chemistry and
electrical activity of the brain will lead to a new suite of approaches for precise diagnosis and effective treatments that allow clinicians to restore disrupted or damaged neuronal circuits.
The BAER (Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response) machine / procedure uses a computer to record
the electrical activity of the brain in response to sound stimulation.
Originally developed to test hearing in infants, this test records
the electrical activity of the brain in response to sound stimulation.
The first is Throw Trucks With Your Mind — a multiplayer FPS where «you'll fight entirely through NeuroSky's MindWave headset peripheral that reads
the electrical activity of your brain.»
