Stephen is being exposed to violent and nonviolent images,and researchers are using a technique that constructs images of his brain tissue and biochemical activity as he views the images.The researchers are using
A)electroencephaly (EEG).
B)functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
C)habituation techniques.
D)diagnostic x-rays.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique described in the scenario involves the construction of images of brain tissue and biochemical activity. This is most likely accomplished through the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which can produce detailed images of the brain's activity by measuring changes in blood flow. EEG measures electrical activity of the brain and not tissue and is not capable of imaging biochemical activity. Habituation techniques are used to study how repeated exposure to a stimulus affects behavior or brain activity, but not to construct images of the brain. Diagnostic x-rays also do not produce images of brain tissue and biochemical activity.
