Episode 5: What's Going On Up There?

Hi friends! Sorry for the delay on this episode — Maansi and I were scrambling at the end of the semester to get stuff done.
It’s just us this time, and we are talking about something that is at the core of neuroscientific research — how the heck do we record data from the brain? Turns out there are a bunch of different ways, and each has its own pros and cons. Maansi and I give you the scoop.
