The factors considered important to the relationship between brain size and intelligence were age, sex and hemispheric functional lateralization. They found that general verbal ability was correlated with cerebral volume in women and right-handed men. It was not possible to find a relationship between ability and volume in with every group ...
As of 2014, Amen Clinics had a database of more than 100,000 functional brain scans. [7] The subjects are from 111 countries with ages from 9 months to 101 years old. [ 7 ] The database was funded in part by Seeds Foundation in Hong Kong, and developed by Daniel Amen with a team of researchers including Kristen Willeumier. [ 7 ]
“Traumatic brain injury patients are notorious for looking really bad for weeks to even months, and then having a remarkable delayed recovery at six months or 12 months,” Greer said.
The CT scan was introduced in the 1970s and quickly became one of the most widely used methods of imaging. A CT scan can be performed in under a second and produce rapid results for clinicians, with its ease of use leading to an increase in CT scans performed in the United States from 3 million in 1980 to 62 million in 2007.
Zijiao Chen can read your mind, with a little help from powerful artificial intelligence and an fMRI machine.
An out-of-body experience (OBE or sometimes OOBE) is a phenomenon in which a person perceives the world as if from a location outside their physical body. An OBE is a form of autoscopy (literally "seeing self"), although this term is more commonly used to refer to the pathological condition of seeing a second self, or doppelgänger .
Cranial ultrasound is a technique for scanning the brain using high-frequency sound waves. It is used almost exclusively in babies because their fontanelle (the soft spot on the skull) provides an "acoustic window". A different form of ultrasound-based brain scanning, transcranial Doppler, can be used in any age group.
Since its introduction the technique has contributed substantially to the elucidation of the hemispheric organization of cognitive, motor, and sensory functions in adults and children. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] fTCD has been used to study cerebral lateralization of major brain functions such as language, [ 11 ] [ 12 ] [ 13 ] face processing, [ 14 ] color ...
