AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Temporal Resolution: An advantage of the EEG/ERP technique is that it has good temporal resolution: it takes readings every millisecond, meaning it can record the brain’s activity in real time as opposed to looking at a passive brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -EEG has an excellent temporal resolution of only a fraction of a millisecond enabling brain activity to be recorded in real-time.

Detailed explanation-3: -A key advantage of ERP methods is that they provide measures of neural activity with very high temporal resolution. The superior temporal resolution of ERPs makes them well suited to examinations of neural events responsible for human memory, which can potentially be monitored on a millisecond-by-millisecond basis.

Detailed explanation-4: -This so-called radar is now available in the form of different neuroimaging techniques. The technique that presently has the greatest spatial and temporal resolution is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which relies on differences in the magnetic susceptibility of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.

Detailed explanation-5: -fMRI with high spatial resolution does not provide adequate temporal sampling due to the slow BOLD response (in order of seconds) unlike EEG that instead offers a high temporal resolution (in the order of milliseconds), but with a poor localization of signal sources (35).
