Broca
identified how
damage
to an area of the
frontal lobe
could
permanently impair speech production
What are some examples of brain imaging techniques?
fMRI
and
PET
With advances in
brain imaging techniques
, scientists have been able to
systematically
observe
and
describe
the
neurological basis
of
mental processes
Scanning
techniques are used in
establishing
the
neurological basis
of
mental disorders
(
OCD
)
What has the focus of cognitive neuroscience expanded to include?
Computer-generated models
designed to
'read'
the
brain
What has the use of computer-generated models in cognitive neuroscience led to?
Development of
mind-mapping
techniques known as
'brain fingerprinting'
What is one future use of cognitive neuroscience?
Analysing
the
brain wave patterns
of
eyewitnesses
Bucker
and
Peterson
were able to show how
episodic
and
semantic
memory were located on
opposite
sides of the
prefrontal cortex
Cognitive neuroscience is the
scientific study
of the
influence
of
brain structures
on
mental processes
