Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The agent is referring to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which can measure activity in different regions of the brain and has been used in some instances as a lie detector. The other options (Computer Voice Stress Analyzer, polygraph, Two-photon imaging) do not involve measuring activity in different regions of the brain.
