Electrophysiological Analysis of Human Brain Function

  • Chapter
Neuropsychology

Part of the book series: Handbook of Behavioral Neurobiology ((HBNE,volume 2))

Abstract

Scalp recordings of human brain potentials provide information about underlying brain functions which complements that obtainable from other neuropsychological approaches described in this volume. Like the brain lesion and other neuroanatomical approaches, electrophysiological recordings can assist in the localization of particular sensory, perceptual, and cognitive processes in the brain. This nonintrusive method offers a distinct advantage, however, in that the distribution of brain activity associated with particular behavioral events can be evaluated “on line” in the intact, normally functioning nervous system, rather than inferred on the basis of post-lesion deficits. Electrophysiological studies of brain dysfunctions are also complementary to behavioral tests in that disturbances of the normal spatial and temporal flow of information in the brain can be identified and, in some cases, localized to particular structures.

The preparation of this chapter was supported by grants from NIMH (MH-25594), NASA (NGR 05-009-198), NIH (NS1 1707-03), and NSF (BNS-7714923).
