Which brain imaging technique measures changes in blood flow in the brain?

  1. fMRI

  2. EEG

  3. TMS

  4. PET


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) measures changes in blood flow in the brain, which is an indirect measure of neural activity.

Which brain imaging technique measures electrical activity in the brain?

  1. fMRI

  2. EEG

  3. TMS

  4. PET


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

EEG (electroencephalography) measures electrical activity in the brain, which is a direct measure of neural activity.

Which brain imaging technique uses magnetic fields to stimulate the brain?

  1. fMRI

  2. EEG

  3. TMS

  4. PET


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) uses magnetic fields to stimulate the brain, which can be used to study the effects of brain stimulation on behavior and cognition.

Which brain imaging technique uses radioactive tracers to measure brain metabolism?

  1. fMRI

  2. EEG

  3. TMS

  4. PET


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

PET (positron emission tomography) uses radioactive tracers to measure brain metabolism, which can be used to study the relationship between brain activity and cognition.
