Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This type of scan is called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which uses a large magnet to track changes in blood flow and oxygen levels in the brain. This allows researchers to see which areas of the brain are activated during certain tasks or stimuli. Option A, MRI, does not specifically look for the presence of oxygen atoms, while options B and C, PET and ERP, use different methods to track brain activity.
