Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a commonly used method for studying brain activity and has been used to identify mirror systems in humans. Positron emission tomography (PET) and single cell recording can also be used for this purpose, but fMRI is generally considered to be less invasive and more practical for studying large groups of people. Electroencephalography (EEG) is often used to measure brain activity, but it may not have the spatial resolution necessary for identifying specific mirror systems.
