Studying the Brain: A Case Study
A research technique in which one person is studied in depth in the hope of revealing universal principles.
Phineas Gage’s Accident

Computerized Axial Tomography (CT or CAT)
A series of X-ray photographs taken from different angles and combined by computer into a composite representation of a slice through the body.
Reveals the brain’s structure

Electroencephalogram (EEG)
An amplified recording of the waves of electrical activity that sweep across the brain’s surface;
these waves, measured by electrodes placed on the scalp, are helpful in evaluating brain function.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
A technique that sues magnetic fields and radio waves to produce computer-generated images that distinguish among types of soft tissue this allows us to see
structures within the brain.

Positron Emission Tomography Scan (PET scan)
A visual display of brain activity. Injection of a radioactive glucose Reveals the brain’s functioning
