Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measures changes in blood flow and oxygenation within the brain, which are indicative of neural activity in response to cognitive tasks. This technique does not directly measure electrical activity (that's more related to EEG) nor is it primarily about form perception or a method used in human factors research.
