Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Researchers would most likely use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to monitor blood flow to different regions of the brain. fMRI measures changes in blood oxygenation levels, which indicate areas of the brain that are more active and therefore receiving more blood flow. This technique is often used in cognitive neuroscience research to study brain function during various tasks and behaviors. Brain lesions, electroencephalograms (EEGs), and MRIs may be used for other purposes related to brain structure or function, but are not as effective for monitoring blood flow in real-time.
