Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fMRI scan (functional magnetic resonance imaging) is a type of brain scan that measures changes in blood flow to different areas of the brain, indicating which parts of the brain are active during specific tasks or stimuli. Asking Ivan to read words on a screen while in the scanner would be a common task for an fMRI study, as it can reveal which areas of the brain are involved in language processing and reading comprehension. MRI and X-ray scans do not typically involve tasks or stimuli, and a SET scan is not a commonly used type of brain imaging.
