EEG and ERP Evaluation
+P; EEGs are a non-invasive method.
E; The method is,
-hat with electrodes
-risk free and more ethical
-no neurosurgery is needed
-straight forward to use
L; Therefore, EEG is a more preferable way to investigate the electrical activity of the brain.
+P; The EEG has valuable/useful practical applications
E; It is used for the diagnosis of
-arrhythmic (irregular) abnormalities e.g. epilepsy
-Sleep disorders
-detection of tumours
L; Therefore, the EEG is useful for detecting abnormal brain activity which may be related to
specific conditions
+P; The EEG is a cheap way of investigating the brain.
E; This is because equipment (hat with electrodes) is less expensive than other methods
such as the fMRI.
-also, cheap to maintain
- However, the cost can be increased as an expert is needed or needs to be trained before
providing the EEG. This was it can be performed accurately so that researchers get valid
results.
L; Therefore, the EEG is widely accessible and used more often in research. Meaning that
results from such studies can be generalised.
(double burger- Cost and Expert Needed)
-P; The EEG only measures the general activity of a specific area
E; This means that the electrodes do not measure the electrical activity of a single neurone.
This is because the electrodes are not sensitive enough to pick up the electrical activity of a
single neurone.
L; Therefore, the EEG is not a precise measure of investigating the brain.
