Which of the following neuroimaging techniques involves manipulating the orientation of hydrogen atoms?
A)MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
B)PET (positron emission tomography)
C)MEG (magnetoencephalography)
D)ERP (event-related potential)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) involves manipulating the orientation of hydrogen atoms. Specifically, the technique relies on the alignment of hydrogen atoms in a magnetic field and the subsequent emissions of radio waves when the atoms return to their regular states. These emissions are recorded and used to create images of the brain's structures and activity.
