The recorded representation of bioelectric potentials generated by the neuronal activity of the brain is called the electroencephalogram. A differential amplifier can be considered as two amplifiers with separate inputs but with a common output terminal which delivers the sum of the two amplifier output voltages. In Pulse Interval Modulation (PIM) the length of the interval between successive pulses, t is inversely proportional to the signal input. X ray have a much shorter wave length than visible light. CAT scanner can provide information about internal organs and body structures.
