Mountcastle, Hubel, and Wiesel used single cell recordings to study the visual cortex of animals. This involved inserting microelectrodes into individual neurons to measure their activity in response to visual stimuli. EEG and evoked potentials are non-invasive techniques that measure overall brain activity, while MEG measures magnetic fields generated by neural activity.
