The discovery that the neural network is constituted out of ordinary physical material leads to another sort of advance critical to neuroscience’s development, that of effectively monitoring and measuring the brain’s activity. If the neurons are the core functional units and they communicate via electrical signals then measurement of external electrical and magnetic properties will reveal neural activity (albeit of a collective nature). This is the basis of the electroencephalogram, or EEG, and the magnetoencephalogram (MEG).
1 From Phrenology to Brain Imaging Jill is worried about the sincerity of Jack’s affection. Young, beautiful and the founder of a NASDAQ leading, multibillion dollar biotechnology firm she has developed a natural fear of predatory suitors.

Does it seem plausible to suppose that although the protons that existed 1 s after the big bang did not exemplify any biological properties, these very same protons now do carry biological properties? 20 There is no need to ascribe the properties of any science save physics to the early state of the universe. It follows that all scientific properties save those of physics are at least diachronically emergent and in all probability synchronically emergent as well. Emergence will be extensively discussed below.
