D) event-related potential

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Laticia is interested in studying the brain's metabolic activity, which can be measured by an fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging). An fMRI detects changes in blood flow and oxygenation levels in the brain, which are indirect indicators of neuronal activity. EEG recording and event-related potentials are measures of electrical activity in the brain, whereas transcranial magnetic stimulation is a technique used to temporarily disrupt neural activity rather than measure it. Therefore, an fMRI would be the best choice for Laticia's research.
