A)positron emission tomography (PET) 
B) magnetoencephalography (MEG)​ 
C) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)​ 
D) repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology can measure brain activity and has been used in research to assess the activity in the area of the brain responsible for lying, indicating whether a person is being truthful or not. PET and MEG technologies are useful in other areas, such as for diagnosing medical conditions or mapping brain activity, but they are not currently used for lie detection. rTMS has potential uses in treating neurological and mental health conditions but is not applicable to detecting deception.
