Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EEG (electroencephalogram) measures the electrical activity of the brain by placing electrodes on the scalp. It is commonly used to study brain waves associated with different mental states, such as sleep, meditation, and attention. ERP (event-related potential) is a type of EEG that is specifically used to study the brain's response to specific stimuli. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) use magnetic fields to create detailed images of the brain's structure and function, but do not directly measure electrical activity.
