Track 18: Human Brain Mapping
Human brain mapping refers to a set of techniques in neuroscience that map biological data or features onto spatial representations of the brain, allowing researchers to study both its structure and function. This discipline uses a combination of experimental psychology, human neuroscience, and noninvasive neuroimaging to establish connections between brain structure and function. Various methods are used in brain mapping, including regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), regional metabolic rate of glucose (rCMRglc), near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), electroencephalography (EEG), and magnetoencephalography (MEG), all of which help to uncover how different brain regions contribute to various cognitive and physiological processes.
