C) electroencephalogram
D) positron emission tomography

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best technique for Dr.Alfine to use for this project would be electroencephalogram (EEG), as it is a non-invasive method to measure brain activity by recording electrical signals from the brain using electrodes placed on the scalp. This technique can be used to detect brain waves during meditation and hypnosis and compare the activity between the two states. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) mainly focus on imaging the structure of the brain and may not provide enough detailed information on the activity of the brain during these states. Positron emission tomography (PET) is useful in measuring blood flow and metabolism in the brain, but EEG may provide more specific and sensitive data in this case.
