COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE Note ? Please read book to review major brain structures and their functions ? Please read book to review brain imaging techniques ? See also additional slides available on class website Cognitive Neuroscience ? the study of the relation between cognitive processes and brain activities ? Potential to measure some “hidden” processes that are part of cognitive theories (. memory activation, attention, “insight”) ? Measuring when and where activity is happening. Different techniques have different strengths: tradeoff between spatial and temporal resolution Techniques for Studying Brain Functioning ? Single unit recordings – Hubel and Wiesel (1962, 1979) ? Eventrelated potentials (ERPs) ? Positron emission tomography (PET) ? Magic resonance imaging (MRI and fMRI) ? Magoencephalography (MEG) ? Transcranial magic stimulation (TMS) The spatial and temporal ranges of some techniques used to study brain functioning. Single Cell Recording (usually in animal studies) Measure neural activity with probes. ., research by Hubel and Wiesel: Hubel and Wiesel (1962) ? Studied LGN and primary visual cortex in the
