Energy Rising

NOTES

Introduction

1. 1. Neuroscience has amassed an impressive arsenal of tools like fMRI, EEG, deep brain stimulation (DBS), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that rely on the brain’s energy. Functional magnetic resonance imaging measures chemical changes in the brain using oxygen metabolism. See Richard B. Buxton, “The Physics of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI),” Reports on Progress in Physics 76, no. 9 (2013): 096601, doi: 10.1088/0034-4885/76/9/096601, Epub 2013 Sep 4, PMID: 24006360; PMCID: PMC4376284. EEG measures electrical activity of large, synchronously firing populations of neurons in the brain. See Gregory A. Light et al., “Electroencephalography (EEG) and Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) with Human Participants,” ...
