Later in the course, you will learn about the different patterns of electrical activity in the brain that occur in the different stages of sleep and dreaming. Our knowledge of these patterns MOST likely reflects the use of a technique known as:
A)computerized axial tomography (CAT).
B)positron emission tomography (PET).
C)electroencephalogram (EEG).
D)functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EEG is a technique that measures the electrical activity of the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp. It is commonly used to study the different patterns of electrical activity in the brain during sleep and dreaming. CAT, PET, and fMRI are imaging techniques that are used to visualize the structure and function of the brain, but they do not measure electrical activity. Therefore, the correct answer is option C, EEG.
