Electrical neuroimaging is based on the analysis of brain electrical activity recorded from the human scalp with multichannel EEG. It offers enormous potential for the dynamic mapping of brain functions, and for the non-invasive diagnosis of neurological and psychiatric conditions. This authoritative reference gives a systematic overview of new electrical imaging methods, with a sound introduction to the basics of multichannel recording of EEG and event-related potential (ERP) data, as well as spatio-temporal analysis of the potential fields.
In this episode of the series, Bill Nye takes a good look at eyes and how they work. The standup scientist (so-called because he once worked as a standup comic,) describes the interaction between the brain and the eyes, and discusses the many things that eyes can do without any prompting from their owner. Using his successful blend of music videos, humor, demos, and silliness, Nye checks out the anatomy of the eye, and shows students how the rods and cones route information to the brain.
No textbook or model can replace dissection of the human brain as the ultimate educational experience. Lennart Heimer, MD, one of the most respected neuroanatomy educators of his time, has created a practical guide for the systematic dissection of the human brain. This DVD contains two separate dissection guides. One emphasizes the technique of blunt dissection for the study of major fiber bundles, and the second focuses on surface topography, coronal/horizontal sections, and exploration of the ventricle system
