Questions and Answers

Which brain imaging technique measures regional cerebral blood flow?

  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
  • Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)
  • Electroencephalography (EEG)
  • Positron Emission Tomography (PET) (correct)
  • What is the main advantage of using Electroencephalography (EEG) compared to other brain imaging techniques?

  • Excellent spatial resolution
  • Requires radioactive tracers
  • Invasive procedure
  • Excellent temporal resolution (correct)
  • Which brain imaging technique allows researchers to infer causation between brain activity and cognitive processes?

  • Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
  • Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)
  • Electroencephalography (EEG)
  • None of the above, these techniques only allow for correlational inferences (correct)
