wikipedia.org said:Electrophysiology is the study of the electrical properties of biological cells and tissues. It involves measurements of voltage change or electrical current flow on a wide variety of scales from single ion channel proteins to whole tissues like the heart. In neuroscience, it includes measurements of the electrical activity of neurons, and particularly action potential activity.
EE stands for electroencephalography, which is a non-invasive technique used to record the electrical activity of the brain. It involves placing electrodes on the scalp to detect and measure the brain's electrical signals.
EE is used in electrophysiology to study the electrical activity of the brain and its relationship to various behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. It can also be used to diagnose and monitor neurological disorders and to guide brain surgeries.
EE has several advantages in electrophysiology, including its non-invasive nature, high temporal resolution, and ability to record brain activity from different regions simultaneously. It is also relatively inexpensive and safe for participants.
EE also has some limitations, such as its inability to provide precise spatial information about the brain's activity. It is also affected by external factors, such as muscle movements and environmental noise, which can interfere with the recorded signals.
EE is different from other electrophysiology techniques, such as intracranial electrodes and magnetoencephalography (MEG), in terms of its non-invasive nature and its ability to record brain activity from the surface of the scalp. It also has a different level of spatial and temporal resolution compared to other techniques.
