In an electroencephalogram (EEG),researchers __________.
A) use a tunnel-shaped apparatus that creates a magnetic field
B) examine brain-wave patterns for stability and organization
C) create detailed, three-dimensional pictures of the entire brain
D) can be certain of the way the individual processes a stimulus

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EEG measures the electrical activity of the brain and researchers examine the patterns of brainwaves to assess stability and organization.

Answer: A 
 This description is actually referring to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, not an EEG.

Answer: C 
 This description is actually referring to a computed tomography (CT) scan, not an EEG.

Answer: D 
 EEG can provide insight into the electrical activity of the brain in response to a stimulus, but it cannot determine with certainty how an individual processes the stimulus.
