Which two procedures allow researchers to visualize changes in brain activity over time?
the two procedures are the PET scan and the fMRI
Does lots of alpha-theta brain wave activity mean stressed or relaxed?
Lots of alpha-theta brain wave activity typically indicates a relaxed or daydreaming state rather than a stressed one. Alpha waves are associated with a calm and relaxed mind, while theta waves are linked to a deeply relaxed or meditative state.
What does Ictal EEG do?
It is used to measure brain activity during a seizure
Which specific brain areas are most active while people recall familiar nursery rhymes researchers would be most likely to make use of a(n)?
Researchers would be most likely to make use of fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) to study brain activity while people recall familiar nursery rhymes. Specific brain areas that might be most active during this task include the language processing centers in the left hemisphere of the brain, such as the Broca's area and Wernicke's area.
How do scientists study dreams?
Sleep researchers study the dreaming mind in sleep laboratories. Electrodes are connected to the heads of volunteers. These electrodes are linked to computers that sense the bioelectric activity inside the brain, indicating the different areas of the brain that are active during different stages of sleep. Researchers also track patterns of "Rapid Eye Movements" (REM) that indicate active dreaming. The volunteers are awakened during specific stages of sleep so they can report whether they are dreaming or not, and can describe their dreams. Researchers also use brain scanning equipment to observe the activity within the brain. Note: scientists cannot see the actual dream images the way the dreamer does, but scientists can observe, measure and track the activity of the brain as dreams occur. See attached links for more information.
What are long range effects?
Long-term effects may include: Addiction Psychosis, including: paranoia hallucinations repetitive motor activity Changes in brain structure and function Deficits.
What is activation -synthesis theory?
dreams are a byproduct of brain activity during sleep
What is the activation-synthesis theory?
dreams are a byproduct of brain activity during sleep
Brain Activity while sleeping?
The brain is very active during sleep, but in distinctly different and measurable ways than when awake. See the attached Wikipedia article, below. i think brain activity is more than 50 percents
Can you regain brain activity after losing it?
Can you gain brain activity after losing it
What are the symptoms of Hallucinations?
Symptoms of hallucinations include seeing, smelling, or hearing things that are not present in the environment. Typical hallucinations involve seeing or hearing, but neither the eyes or ears have any physical problem. Instead, brain changes trigger hallucinations. Schizophrenics often experience hallucinations and many medications or street drugs can trigger hallucinations.
Does Hypoxia cause hallucinations?
Cerebral hypoxia can cause hallucinations, amnesia,memory loss, and muscle spasms since the brain receives less oxygen.
