A painless technique that allows researchers to create in human subjects "virtual lesions" for short periods of times is
A) TMS.
B) fMRI.
C) lesioning.
D) ESB.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a painless technique that allows researchers to create temporary "virtual lesions" in specific areas of the brain by applying magnetic pulses to the scalp. These magnetic pulses can disrupt or enhance the activity of targeted neurons, allowing researchers to study the causal relationship between brain regions and specific behaviors or cognitive processes. Options B, C, and D (fMRI, lesioning, and ESB) are not appropriate choices as they do not create "virtual lesions" in the same way that TMS does.
