Brain Scan Image (IMAGE) University of Washington Caption This colored 'scalp map' (viewed from the top of a child's head with the nose forward), shows the average amount of brain activity measured by EEG sensors one second prior to a tap delivered to the middle finger of the child's left or right hand. The image shows that children's brains register a change in activity in predicted regions (see the dark blue on the scalp map) after they are primed to which hand will receive a tap, in the second prior to receiving the touch.
