Understanding EEG: A Window into the Brain

What is EEG primarily used for in clinical settings?

• Diagnosing epilepsy and sleep disorders

• Measuring heart rate

• Analyzing blood samples

• Detecting muscle movements

Who was the first person to record brain waves using EEG?

• Hans Berger

• Albert Einstein

• Sigmund Freud

• Marie Curie

What is a major advantage of EEG over MRI and CT scans?

• Ability to capture real-time brain activity

• Higher spatial resolution

• Lower cost

• Better image quality

Which of the following is a limitation of EEG?

• Lower spatial resolution compared to other imaging techniques

• Inability to detect electrical activity

• High cost of equipment

• Invasiveness of the procedure

How does EEG contribute to cognitive neuroscience research?

• By analyzing brain wave patterns to understand cognitive functions

• By measuring blood flow in the brain

• By providing detailed images of brain structures

• By monitoring heart rate during cognitive tasks
