OUTCOME
By the end of this lesson you will be able to describe the type of electrical activity we observe in the brain and how it is measured. You will be able to explain how research into this area can assists in bionic limbs and treating neurological disease
The workings of the brain can be mapped out through the electrical activity of the brain - Electro-encephalogram (EEG)
Electroencephalography (EEG) measure the electrical activity in the brain. This activity is due to the process of action potential
