Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

Exercise 20: Elerctroencephalography (EEG)

front 1

Define EEG

back 1

A record of the electrical activity of the brain.

front 2

below 4 Hz; slow, large waves; normally seen during deep sleep

back 2

delta

front 3

rhythm generally apparent when an individual is in a relaxed, nonattentive state with the eyes closed

back 3

alpha

front 4

correlated to the alert state; usually about 15 to 30 Hz

back 4

beta

front 5

What is meant by the term alpha block?

back 5

Suppression of the alpha rhythm

front 6

List at least four types of brain lesions that may be determined by EEG studies.

back 6

Epileptic foci, infections, tumors, blood clots

front 7

What is the common result of hypoactivity or hyperactivity of the brain neurons?

back 7

unconsciousness

front 8

How was alpha block demonstrated in the laboratory experiment?

back 8

By clapping your hands, which caught the attention of the subjects.

front 9

What was the effect of mental concentration on the brain wave pattern?

back 9

Should have increased the frequency of the brain waves from the level of the alpha rhythm.

front 10

What effect on the brain wave pattern did hyperventilation have?

back 10

Produced a fast, irregular pattern

front 11

Observe the average frequency of the waves you measured for each rhythm. Did the calculated average for each fall within the specified range indicated in the introduction to encephalograms?

back 11

The average should fall within the normal range.

front 12

Suggest the possible advantages and disadvantages of using electroencephalography in a clinical setting.

back 12

EEG is a useful tool in the clinical setting to assess cerebral activity in generalized brain regions. Because EEG is indirectly recording, via the scalp, the activity of millions of nerve cells simultaneously, it is less effective in assessing the function of very specific regions of the brain.
