FS studies (Functional Scanning) typically inhabit controlled laboratory environments designed for precise measurement of brain activity. These settings often include:
1.
Neuroimaging Facilities
: Such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanners, which provide detailed images of brain structure and function.
2.
Electrophysiological Recording Units
: These units can measure electrical activity in the brain, often using electrodes placed on the scalp (EEG) or directly in the brain tissue (ECoG).
3.
Controlled Stimulation Chambers
: Used to deliver specific stimuli (e.g., visual, auditory) to the subject to observe brain responses.
4.
Data Analysis Software
: Specialized software for processing and interpreting the large datasets generated by these experiments.
These environments are designed to minimize external interference and ensure accurate, reproducible results.
