Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a technique that allows researchers to temporarily inhibit or excite a specific area of the brain by using magnetic fields. This can help to isolate the effects of that area on behavior. EEG, MRI, and PET scans are useful for studying brain activity, structure, and metabolic processes, but they do not provide the same level of precision in terms of manipulating specific areas of the brain.
