PET scan
Which measurement tool tracks activity through blood flow of the brain?
fMRI scan
What is the problem with obtaining a PET scan?
It requires a radioactive injection
Which scan uses the injection of gamma rays to show the bloodflow in the brain?
SPECT scan
The ___________principle states that in order to measure a signal, you have to measure it at twice the speed of its fastest frequency.
Nyquist
Children under age 5 show an abundance of what brainwave?
Delta
Which brainwave relates to neurogenesis?
Theta
Which predominant brainwave state is most likely to lead to problems later on if you sustain abuse when these waveforms are dominant?
Theta
Which brainwave is easily confused with muscle artifact?
Gamma
What is a harmonic?
A wave or frequency that is a multiple of a given frequency
What is a subharmonic?
