Electrical activity in the brain can be captured by placing multiple electrodes on the scalp and then measuring the underlying electrical activity.This method of studying the brain's activity is called
A) an electroencephalogram.
B) positron emission tomography.
C) magnetic resonance imaging.
D) functional MRI.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The method described is characteristic of an electroencephalogram (EEG). Positron emission tomography (B), magnetic resonance imaging (C), and functional MRI (D) involve different imaging techniques and do not typically involve placing electrodes on the scalp to directly measure electrical activity in the brain.
