AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Electroencephalography (EEG) provides an excellent medium to understand neurobiological dysregulation, with the potential to evaluate neurotransmission. Time-locked EEG activity or event-related potential (ERP) helps capture neural activity related to both sensory and cognitive processes.

Detailed explanation-2: -An ERP is a technique that can be used to assess how the brain is functioning in response to stimulation of the senses (e.g. sight, sound, touch, etc.). It gives a rough idea of how the brain is performing when it comes to abilities related to attention, memory, and information processing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) Event-Related Potentials (ERP) use similar equipment to EEG, i.e. electrodes attached to the scalp. However, the key difference is that a stimulus is presented to a participant (for example a picture/sound) and the researcher looks for activity related to that stimulus.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The three most common and most frequently used measures are functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG). Of these methods, EEG is the most versatile and cost-efficient solution.
