Researchers have used fMRI to investigate activation in the fusiform face area (FFA) and the parahippocampal place area (PPA) . When participants are shown a picture of a face to one eye and a picture of a house to the other eye (producing binocular rivalry) , we expect to see
A) no increase in activation in either the FFA or the PPA relative to a baseline.
B) equal activation in the FFA and the PPA.
C) only activation in the brain region linked to the picture in the dominant eye (e.g., if a picture of a face is presented to the dominant eye, then only the FFA will show increased activation) .
D) an increase in activation in the FFA when the participant is consciously aware of the face and similarly increased activation in the PPA when the participant is consciously aware of the house.
