Damon is injected with a radioactive substance and then lies on an apparatus with a scanner that emits fine streams of X-rays, which detect increased blood flow and oxygen metabolism in areas of the brain as Damon processes particular stimuli. Damon's brain functioning is being measured using
A) an electroencephalogram.
B) event-related potentials.
C) functional magnetic resonance imaging.
D) position emission tomography.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Position emission tomography (PET) is a neuroimaging technique that involves injecting a radioactive substance and then using a scanner to detect increased blood flow and oxygen metabolism in areas of the brain as the individual processes particular stimuli. Thus, Damon's brain functioning is being measured using PET.
