Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The occipital lobe is responsible for processing visual information, so stimulation to this area could lead to seeing flashes of light or stars. The other lobes, such as the temporal and parietal lobes, are responsible for different functions such as language processing and spatial awareness, respectively, and would not be as likely to cause visual sensations from stimulation. The frontal lobe is responsible for decision making and other higher-order cognitive processes and would also not likely cause visual sensations.
