based on the following abstract taken from the journal Trends in Neuroscience and Education (citation below). The authors of the paper examined two different methods of mathematics instruction and used brain-imaging techniques to demonstrate how the methods might influence learning.

-The researchers would like to test that the fronto-parietal region in the brain plays an essential role for solving mathematics problems by randomly assigning participants to receive a procedure that causes a small group of neurons to fire in a particular region in the brain. Which procedure are they using?
A) CT
B) PET
C) EEG
D) TMS

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The procedure being used is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), which involves using a magnetic field to temporarily stimulate a specific region of the brain. CT and PET are imaging techniques that provide static images of the brain, while EEG records electrical activity in the brain. None of these techniques involve causing specific neurons to fire in a particular region.
