AP Psychology
Unit 2 – Biological Basis of Behavior
Topic 2.7
Why might EEGs prove ineffective when trying to pinpoint specific areas of abnormality within the brain?
EEGs are unable to record neural activity at all.
EEGs only measure activity in the prefrontal cortex, limiting their scope.
EEGs record electrical patterns at the scalp level and lack spatial resolution for deep structures within the brain.
EEGs can't differentiate between normal and abnormal brain waves.
