Allow the recording of your brain waves - the faint electrical activity constantly occurring in your brain- using the electroencephalogram (EEG) while completing memory tasks. Allow the imaging of your brain using functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which measures images of water in your brain in a strong magnetic field, while completing memory tasks.
