The bulk of the equipment for understanding the human mind and brain breaks down as follows: fMRI has fine spatial resolution. EEG has exceptional temporal resolution. To truly understand the mind/brain, however, we need both in the same piece of equipment. We believe that we are starting to achieve this goal with source localization of high density electroencephalography ( 4D-dEEG). We present, for the first time in history, a picture of the human brain watching television in real space and time (i.e., the holy grail is 4D-dEEG). This initial attempt is the average brain response of 27 people with a threshold applied so that you can see only the top 50% of the electrical activity pouring out of the skull.
