Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a technique that uses magnetic fields to temporarily disrupt the activity of a specific brain region. This disruption can help researchers determine the causal relationship between a particular brain region and behavior. Electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) are imaging techniques that do not directly inhibit or stimulate brain activity, and therefore would not be the best choice for assessing the effect of inhibiting a specific brain region on behavior.
