Larsen et al.(2006) compared the neural responses to real and apparent motion by recording brain activity with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology.The fMRI brain scans ______.
A)found that the areas of the primary visual cortex that were responsive to apparent motion were the same as those responsive to real motion
B)found that different areas of the occipital lobe were responsible for real and apparent motion
C)could distinguish between real and apparent motion, but only when the scans focused on the lateral geniculate nucleus
D)could distinguish between real and apparent motion, but only when the scans focused on the occipital lobe

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study by Larsen et al. (2006) using fMRI technology found that the same areas of the primary visual cortex were activated by both real and apparent motion, indicating that these types of motion are processed similarly in this part of the brain.
