C

Cognitive Electrophysiology

The study of how cognitive functions are implemented by the electrical activity produces by neuron populations. A spectrum ranging from cognitive studies (psychology)) to Electrophysiology (neuroscience)

E

Electrocorticogram (ECoG) / Intracranial EEG

Measurement of the electric potential in the extracellular space around neurons. Invasive as it is done on the brain directly using surface electrodes

 

Electroencephalography (EEG)

The measurement of electrical fields of the brain externally via the use of numerous electrodes

L

Local Field Potential Recording (LFP)

Measurement of the electric potential in the extracellular space around neurons. Invasive as it is done on the brain directly using depth electrodes

M

Magnetoencephalography (MEG)

he measurement of magnetic fields of the brain externally via the use of numerous magnetic sensors in a magnetically isolated environment
