For many, the field of paleontology is about digging data meters underground. However, a '''fortunate''' typo brought into existence the field of EEG for dinosaurs (see below). The way is works is actually disarmingly simple. First, the dinosaur's brain activity is recovered using the well-established processes of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embroidery|embroidery]] and [[https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deshilado_de_Aguascalientes|desihilado]] of the space time fabric.

Below is an example where we analyze the brain activity of 3 subjects experiencing a simple auditory stimulus. We have made the present data entirely available under '''[[https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xz6zb3tsr44hf9oggavzk/Neurosaurology.zip?rlkey=7csu9ru8y5oao8j0va5t4zdoq&dl=0|this link]]'''.

'''Q: Can we use this approach with dinosaurs such as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterosaur|pterosaurs]] or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthyosauria|ichthyosaurs]]?'''<<BR>><<BR>>
A: Of course not! That would be quack science; those are not dinosaurs!

== Inspirational quotes ==
 . {{{#!wiki tip
" [I] was writing the introduction to an encyclopedia on dinosaur nests, when I mispelled "egg" for "eeg". From there on, everything became crystal clear: a new tool to expand our understanding of dinosaurs and dig out the truth. I sent some faxes to schedule zoom meetings with colleagues and as it happens, the new field of '''neurosaurology''' was born. I am sure this new discipline will give hope to all those dinosaur kids who ended up doing neuroscience.

"In a similar way to Dino DNA, dinosaur brain patterns have been fossilized in the "amber" of the space-time continuum, waiting for millions of years that Brainstorm scientists came to read out what they have to tell us all. Using sophisticated open-source techniques, these experts can extract the preserved brain signals and... bingo! Dino EEG!"
