how are pet and fmri research methods similar?

both involve the stimulation of specific brain regions.
both involve lesioning.
both use x - rays.
lucia has suffered damage to her cerebellum. of the following, which is lucia likely to have difficulty with?
tying her shoes
singing
understanding language
reading a book

Explanation:

For the first question: PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) are both neuroimaging techniques that measure and map brain activity over time. They do not stimulate brain regions, cause lesions, or use X-rays.
For the second question: The cerebellum is primarily responsible for coordinating voluntary movements, balance, and fine motor skills. Tying shoes requires precise fine motor coordination, while singing, understanding language, and reading are associated with other brain regions like the cerebral cortex.

Answer:

1. Both can be uses to map activity in the brain over time.
2. Tying her shoes
