fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) would be an appropriate technique for determining differences in the brain when individuals look at well known objects versus novel objects. This allows researchers to see which areas of the brain are active during these activities, providing insight into the neural processes involved in perception and cognition. Qualia reports (A) refer to subjective experiences that cannot be directly measured or observed, EKG (C) measures heart activity and is not related to brain activity, and split-brain procedures (D) are used to study the function and connection of the two hemispheres of the brain.
