From Graphein to Topos: Past and Future of Brain Mapping

  • Conference paper
Topographic Brain Mapping of EEG and Evoked Potentials

Abstract

History is able to teach us scientists, among others, that the results obtained in every epoch are determined primarily by the technological means available at the time in question — another reason to be cautious of every scientific “truth.” Any claim that a given finding is true or untrue should be abandoned. Only statements whether findings are sound or unsound with respect to the methods available at their times should be admitted.
