A first look at the human brain.
• From the Van Essen Laboratory,
University of Washington, St. Louis.
Points to Notice: -- This is the right hemisphere, "looking right." -- close-up zoom-- can you name the major lobes?-- rotation to the medial (inside) view-- the hills and valleys are exaggerated-- the brain is "puffed up" mathematically-- the puffed-up hemisphere is then flattened mathematically. -- cortex is a sheet of cells!

Can you sketch the major points? - B
Points to Notice:
-- the brain is "puffed up" mathematically-- the puffed-up hemisphere is then flattened mathematically. -- cortex is a sheet of cells!
Puffed up:
And flattened: (Notice the "dumbo the flying elephant" shape of the flat right hemisphere)

A first look at brain activity:
Hearing a single word.
• From Pulvermueller,
source.
Points to Notice:
-- This movie shows the left hemisphere, "looking left." -- It is a "puffed up" hemisphere, covered with a meshwork (like a fishing net), superimposed on the model of the brain. -- can you name the major lobes? (approximately) -- brain activity is shown in light colors on the blue background --- yellow and red colors indicates higher activity-- the movies starts when the subject hears a single spoken word-- brain activity is measured by MEG, and begins near the speech perception region of the left hemisphere (see Chapter 1)-- notice how quickly it spreads to other areas!

Can you sketch the major points to notice? - B
• Source: Pulvermueller, ref
Points to Notice:
-- brain activity is shown in light colors on the blue background --- yellow and red color indicate higher activity-- where is the first "high activity" showing up after the subject hears a single spoken word? -- why does that make sense from Chapter 1?

Can you sketch the major points to notice? - C
• Source: Pulvermueller, ref
Points to Notice:
-- brain activity is shown in light colors on the blue background --- yellow and red color indicate higher activity-- where is the first "high activity" showing up after the subject hears a single spoken word? -- why does that make sense from Chapter 1? -- where does the second "hot spot" show up? What lobe is it? -- notice the light blue activity in other regions of the left brain… can you name their lobes?

Can you sketch the major points to notice? - D
• Source: Pulvermueller, ref
Points to Notice:
-- -- brain activity is measured by MEG, and begins near the speech perception region of the left hemisphere (see Chapter 1)-- notice how quickly it spreads to other areas!-- can you speculate why brain activity might spread to the places it does? (It's not necessarily known…)-- and then the neural activity fades…
