EEG or electroencephalography was one of the first neuroimaging techniques. Used as a technique in research for around a century EEG was fundamental in building our knowledge over the 20th century on the brain’s electrical behaviour and how it transmits information across the different parts of the brain on a millisecond timescale. With those praises being said EEG has some incredible flaws which have pushed the field of neuroscience to look for better and better methods to use in the lab. Yet here we are in the early 21st century and no neuroimaging lab would be complete without an EEG kit ready to be used. We bring back neuroimaging expert Dr Stephen Mayhew to explain how the brain’s structure even allows for EEG to be possible, we go over what it does and how it works. We also have a special segment at the end on the future of neuroimaging where more advanced techniques called magnetoencephalogry and optical For more on Stephen Mayhew please see our Floating Brains page on https://watercoolerneuroscience.co.uk/For more information on episodes, polls and extra content please check out Https://www.patreon.com/WCNeuroTags: neuroscience, EEG, MEG, OPM, magnetism, electrical, psychology, imaging, tutorial, Stephen Mayhew

WCNeuro S1, EP6 – A crash course in Electroencephalography with Dr Stephen Mayhew

fMRI or functional magnetic resonance imaging was one of the great inventions of the 20th century. It revolutionised medical fields allowing for examination of the body without the need to cut someone open. Equally neuroscience moved from a field constrained either to understanding the brain through surgery (hardly the same as in day to day life) or with EEG which only measured coarse electrical signals. With fMRI second by second imaging from inside the brain of a living, responding person was in grasp and after decades it is now a common place technique in dozens and dozens of neuroimaging labs across the world. But how does it work? Could you even hazard a guess? This episode brings in neuroimaging lecturer and expert on EEG and fMRI Dr Stephen Mayhew to provide a tutorial on fMRI. We go through it step by step from the atoms that have to be aligned and provoked to even get the signal all the way to a laymen’s explanation of how a brain image is generated for displaying on the evening news. While WCNeuro can’t promise you’ll be a qualified operator by the end you will know the ins and outs of one of the marvels of the modern age.For more on Stephen Mayhew please see our Floating Brains page on https://watercoolerneuroscience.co.uk/For more information on episodes, polls and extra content please check out Https://www.patreon.com/WCNeuroTags: neuroscience, fMRI, MRI, functional magnetic resonance imaging, psychology, imaging, tutorial, Stephen Mayhe
