Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique described in the question is positron emission tomography (PET), which involves injecting a radioactive glucose-like substance into the bloodstream and tracking its movement through the brain using a scanner that detects the emitted positrons. This allows researchers to measure brain activity based on glucose metabolism, as regions that are more active will consume more of the radioactive substance. Evoked potentials and electroencephalograms measure the electrical activity of the brain, while functional magnetic resonance imaging uses changes in blood flow to measure brain activity.
