Ways to Find Out About Brain Function
Most of what we know about the brain comes from brain damage - Damage to specific regions often produces specific deficits - e.g., In the 1800s, Broca observed that damage to the left frontal lobe led to language deficits (aphasia)
But we can't get the full story on normal function from damage - Lack of control- Involvement vs responsibility- Compensation & reorganization
- This is how it was first discovered that different parts of the brain have different functions

Function in the Normal Brain Ways to monitor brain activity non-invasively, as it’s
happening Measure: 1. Electrical and magnetic fields generated by neurons - Electroencephalography (EEG, ERP) - Magnetoencephalography (MEG) - Event-related Optical Signal (EROS)
2. Blood flow to active regions - Positron Emission Tomography (PET) - Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) - Other optical methods (Near-Infrared Spectrometry – NIRS)
3. Consequences of temporary disruption (Not so non-invasive!) - Electrical stimulation - Magnetic stimulation (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation - TMS)
