NOTES:
▪ The “Advantages” and “Disadvantages” column do not contain info about spatial/temporal resolution, even though this could also be seen as a (dis)advantage.
▪ If a cell is empty, the category did not apply to the technique, or it was not mentioned in the lectures.

Spatial resolution = a measure of the smallest object that can be resolved by the sensor; the number of pixels utilized in construction of a digital image.
Temporal resolution = how closely the measured activity corresponds to the timing of the actual neuronal activity.

of the variance in the data, only look
at these
- Independent component analysis (ICA)
