to study the patterning of memory in human brain

Aim:
To study the patterning of memory in human brain
Theory:
The human brain has 4 lobes. The frontal lobe is for intellectual activity like learning, memorizing, emotion etc. It is not known perfectly how the memorizing process inside a brain takes place. The different lobes play a different role in the fore said process. In this study we try to examine which part of the brain is hyperactive during the learning process. The brain has capability to generate waves which can be detected by EEG. We try to locate a particular area of the brain and waves associated for learning and memorizing by a simple experiment described in the next section. More or less no literature backup is available to support the current study. Hence this paper will have preliminary result to study and localize the memory patterns in the human brain.
Experiment:
1. A suitable candidate is chosen.
2. He is given a paragraph from a unknown source to read and memorize.
3. In this process EEG electrodes are set up on the scalp of the subject and the associated waves generated from the various parts are studied.
4. A particular region in the brain which is the most hyperactive will be chosen and more trials will be done on that part alone and the corresponding EEG waves will be analyzed

Equipments:
EEG machine (available at BCI Centre, CSE dept)
Duration:
1 month
Estimated Budget:
NIL
Scope of the study:
It leads to a better understanding of human memory and a probability of storing data in human brain artificially. The human brain has 4 lobes.
