Functional brain activity

Functional brain activity refers to the ongoing processes in the brain that enable us to think, feel, move, and perceive the world. When the brain performs a task or experiences an emotion, specific areas become more active as neurons communicate through electrical signals. Techniques like fMRI or EEG can measure this activity, showing which parts of the brain are involved in different functions. This activity reflects the brain's dynamic ability to process information, adapt, and respond to our environment, supporting everything from simple movements to complex reasoning and emotional responses.
