Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EEGs (electroencephalograms) are the most direct method of measuring electrical activity in the brain. They involve placing electrodes on the scalp to detect the electrical signals generated by the brain's neurons. Functional MRIs, PET scans, and transcranial magnetic stimulation can provide information about brain activity but do not directly measure electrical activity.
