Example of an EEG Experimental Setup
In a typical electroencephalography (EEG) experiment, an array of electrodes is placed around a participant's head, often using a white cap covered in wires. The individual might sit at a desk, looking at a computer screen and interacting with a keyboard and mouse while their brain's electrical activity is recorded.

Example of an EEG Experimental Setup
A cognitive neuroscience researcher is deciding on the best tool to use for their next study. Given that the primary advantage of electroencephalography (EEG) is its ability to measure the timing of the brain's overall electrical activity with millisecond-level precision, which of the following research questions is most suitably investigated using this technique?
