Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Stearns is most likely using transcranial magnetic stimulation, which involves temporarily inactivating or disrupting activity in a specific brain region using a magnetic field. The other methods listed, such as functional MRIs and PET scans, are used to measure activity in the brain but do not involve temporary inactivation. Lesion studies with animals involve permanently damaging or removing a specific brain region, which is not mentioned in the question.
