ventral premotor cortex (PMv) and the ventral intraprietal suclus (VIP) shows different activation of tactile and visual receptive fields (RFs). This has been tested in monkeys and humans.

A documentation of spontaneous gross electrical activity of the brain recorded by placing electrodes on the scalp. The measured electrical activity is not prompted by particular stimuli, and may also be referred to as "brain waves."  

Electroencephalogram (EEG) 

Gross potential changes in the electrical activity of the brain due to a sensory stimulus such as a flashing light. The location of recording, the type of stimulus, and the state of the subject are reflected in the properties of ERPs, such as the wave shape and the latency (i.e., time delay). 
With ERPs, researchers ask participants to do the same task over and over again and they average all the EEGs recorded during those repeated trials. The variation due to random firing averages out. ERP has become the favorite tool of neuroscientists studying moment-to-moment consequences of attention in the brain.

Event-Related Potentials (ERPs)

Ways to use Electroencephalogram in research

Data collection for studies investigating the effects of cognitive reappraisal in children and adolescents involve observational studies, self-report questionnaires, and interviews with multiple informants (i.e. parents, teachers). These methods are subjective in nature and lack generalizability, therefore more objective measures are needed to properly evaluate the benefits of cognitive reappraisal in younger populations. One such measure is to record event-related potentials via electroencephalogram.

Measures of cognitive reappraisal in children and adolescents

A self-regulation therapy that teaches patients how to control their brainwaves (as detected by EEG) by controlling their arousal levels. Some evidence suggests it may help with easing behavioral symptoms caused by head trauma, as well as ADHD and chronic stress.
