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

6 notecards = 2 pages (4 cards per page)

Common Types of Neural Measures

front 1

Electroencephalography (EEG) How It Works

back 1

Electrodes on scalp measure electrical activity in neurons. Sample Finding: Depression and anxiety linked with increased activity in right frontal lobe.

front 2

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) How It Works

back 2

Head coil records magnetic fields from brain’s electrical currents. Sample Finding: Soldiers with PTSD show stronger magnetic fields in visual cortex when viewing trauma images.

front 3

Computed Tomography (CT) How It Works

back 3

X-rays of the head show brain damage. Sample Finding: Children’s brain injuries on CT predict lower intelligence and memory performance.

front 4

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) How It Works

back 4

Tracks where radioactive glucose goes in brain during tasks. Sample Finding: Monkeys with anxious temperament show more glucose use in fear and memory regions.

front 5

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) How It Works

back 5

Uses magnetic fields and radio waves to map brain structure. Sample Finding: People with history of violence have smaller frontal lobes tied to moral judgment and self-control.

front 6

Functional MRI (fMRI) How It Works

back 6

Measures blood flow to brain regions by comparing MRI scans. Sample Finding: Plane crash survivors showed more activation in fear, memory, and visual centers when viewing trauma footage.
