A(n)_____ provides evidence to indicate what brain processes are involved while an individual works on a cognitive task.
A) MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
B) ECG (electrocardiogram)
C) fMRI (functional MRI)
D) EMG (electromyogram)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

fMRI (functional MRI) is a type of MRI that measures changes in blood flow and oxygenation in the brain as a person performs a cognitive task. This provides evidence of which brain regions are activated during a particular task and can help identify the specific neural processes involved. Option A (MRI) is a general imaging technique that can show brain structure but not necessarily brain activity during a cognitive task. Option B (ECG) measures electrical activity of the heart and is not relevant to brain processes. Option D (EMG) measures electrical activity of muscles and is not relevant to brain processes.
