What instrument measures brain activity?
An Electroencephalograph (EEG) is used to measure brain activity.
What prewriting activity?
A prewriting activity can be a brainstorm, or some other creative outlet. This will help get your creative juices flowing before starting your report, essay, or other writing activity. This way, you have an idea of what to write about.
Does lots of alpha-theta brain wave activity mean stressed or relaxed?
Lots of alpha-theta brain wave activity mean that you are relaxed. This is because alpha-theta brain activity occurs during the sleep cycle.
What effect on the brain does writing with you opposite hand have?
This kind of activity is called Neurobics, which is essentially doing things you normally do but done differently. Like brushing your teeth with the other hand, taking a shower with your eyes closed, writing with the opposite hand, taking a different route to work, etc.What happens in your brain while you're doing this becomes a brain exercise because different, underused nerve pathways and connections get activated. This stimulates the growth of new brain cells and brain connections.According to the neurobics.com website, to be a neurobic activity it must have one or more of the following:1) Involve one or more of your senses in a novel context.2) Engage your attention.3) Break a routine activity in an unexpected, novel way
What is a psychological construct?
A concept used to describe specific psychological activity or a pattern of activity that is believed to occur or exist, but cannot be directly observed or measured.
What technique can best be described as using the measurement of radioactive isotopes to evaluate the activity in the brain?
Probable you think to scintimetry.
Is consumption a productive activity?
you have not specified consumption of what?
What rhymes with radioactive?

What is the unit measurement for the activity of a radioactive source?
roentgen
What is the radioactive decay law?
The rate of decay (activity) of a radioactive isotope is proportional to the number of atoms of the isotope present.
What is radioactive decay law?

What is the purpose of radioactive implants?
With the use of radioactive implants, the tumor is subjected to radioactive activity over a longer period of time, as compared to external beam therapy.
What is the use of measuring the activity of a radioactive isotope in a sample to determine its age?
radioactive dating
What was hans geiger famous for?
He created the geiger counter, which measures radioactive activity.
What energy transfer drives volcanic activity on Earth's surface?
Radioactive decay
What is more radioactive uranium or plutonium?
There are numerous isotopes of both plutonium and uranium ( all radioactive) thus it is not easy to say which element is more radioactive. However the half lives of the most active isotpe of each compound is follows241Pu has a half life of 14 years232U has a half life of 68.9 yearsSo in terms of activity, Plutonium is more radioactive; however uranium stays radioactive for a longer time.The specific activity of plutonium is greater than the specific activity of uranium (comparison between 239Pu and 238U).
What is the calculation of radioactive isotopes?
Examples characteristics: half life, specific activity, radiotoxicity.
