Which of the following is a test of brain function (rather than brain
anatomical structure)?
A ct scan
B eeg
C mri
D brain scan -answer-b eeg
Who was the first to describe electrical activity in the human brain?
a adolf beck

Dipole localization allows one to
A find the source of potential generator
B detect the action potential
C record the far field potential
D create the near field potential -answer-a find the source of potential
generator
Electrical activity that occurs in response to external stimuli is
measured by
A scalp recorded eeg
B evoked potentials
C external potential
D membrane potential -answer-b evoked potentials
(ep) evoked potentials -answer-an electrical potential recorded in
response to an external stimulus: visual, auditory, or somatosensory
,Far field potential is defined as
A potential recorded from the surface electrode
B potential recorded from depth electrode
C potential recorded from nearby generator source
D potential recorded from distant source -answer-d potential recorded
from distant source.
(ffp) far field potential -answer-the scalp electrodes detected the
potentials that were generated at a distance thus the term "far field
potential" was introduced.
All of the following tests reflect brain function except
A eeg
B pet scan
C spect
D ct scan -answer-d ct scan
Ct scan vs eeg -answer-the eeg primarily reflects brain function while
ct represents anatomical brain structures.
