Alexandra believes that the effects of attention on perception occur very quickly on a fine temporal scale. Which of the following techniques should she use to investigate the changes in perceptual processing that may accompany focused attention?
A) CT computed tomography)
B) PET positron emission tomography)
C) MEG magnetoencephalography)
D) MRI magnetic resonance imaging)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MEG (magnetoencephalography) is the best choice because it provides excellent temporal resolution, allowing researchers to measure brain activity on a millisecond-by-millisecond basis, which is crucial for studying the rapid effects of attention on perception.
