Electroencephalography

1.1 General Introduction The steadily growing field of brain–computer interfacing (BCI) may develop useful technologies, with a major positive impact on individuals and society as a whole. Meanwhile, the development of BCI presents significant ethical and legal challenges. Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have attracted much attention recently, triggered by new scientific progress in understanding brain function and by impressive applications. A Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is a computer…

video games being the cause of it. That leads people to believe that video games cause the violence and they do not stop and think to study other possible points and causes. The arguments for mind change break down into such quotes as, “EEG [electroencephalography] apparatus connected to the players ' skulls that in a certain part of the CNS (the locus-coeruleus norepinephrine system to be exact), activity becomes suppressed when these youths are playing violent games but not while playing…

cases of encephalitis, only physical examinations and/or blood tests are required. However, if a more severe case is suspected, then there are several tests that can be performed. A doctor can perform; a CT (computed tomography) scan, an EEG (Electroencephalography) scan (used to measure brain waves), a spinal tap, or an MRI (magnetic resonance…

Everyone wants to know who committed the murder. Did you know brain fingerprinting is a process that could help? It could be used for remembering things you have forgot. Brain fingerprinting is a forensic science technique that uses electroencephalography to determine whether specific information is stored in a person's brain by measuring electrical brain waves and recording a brain response known as a P300-MERMER. MERMER is abbreviated for Memory and Encoding Related Multifaceted…

University of Toronto states that “at 20 weeks, the fetal brain has the full complement of brain cells present in adulthood, ready and waiting to receive pain signals from the body, and their electrical activity can be recorded by standard electroencephalography (EEG)” meaning pain can be experienced quite early by unborn babies, making fetal pain a harsh fact. Surgeons entering the womb to perform corrective procedures on tiny unborn babies have seen those babies flinch, jerk and recoil from…

and the possible negative cognitive and behavioral outcomes of sexual behavior. The scores reflected similar responses of patients diagnosed with Hyper sexuality. The patients were then shown a series of images while being monitored using electroencephalography, a method used to measure electrical activity in the…

“So you think, so you become.” When ignorance, and poverty struck a whole nation, and the elite makes a call to god… “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” ― Martin Luther King Jr. Many have witnessed or heard about act of terrors in Haiti on the name of “Zombification,” causing by a group of undercover criminals. It is by itself a broad topic full of stupidity, but this idea is important to introduce what I want to tackle today.…

Why is math important? Some people cringe when math is mentioned, but whether they favor it or not, numbers can’t be avoided. Math is present everywhere whether it be cooking, shopping, creating, caring for others or etc. According to the history, counting supposedly started right after the development of language. Egyptians had used Egyptian system around 3000-1600 BC which they wrote 10 as ^ and 13 as III^. This system was adapted by the Romans in their roman numerals. Egyptians also has the…

Abortion has been a hot topic since the 2016 presidential election. Abortion is “the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus” (Abortion). However, this topic is an extremely controversial topic. Should abortion stay legal or become illegal, or should women have the right to terminate the baby even if it is almost to full term. Or if the reasons they have to terminate the baby like rape or health problems give the…
