CogPsy Lesson 1

a neuroimaging technique that determines how much glucose (the brain’s fuel) is being used by specific areas of the brain at a particular moment in time

• PET Scan

• MRI Scan

• CT Scan

• EEG

It uses magnetic fields to construct a detailed three-dimensional representation of the activity levels in different areas of the brain at a particular moment in time.

• fMRI Scan

• CT Scan
