Question

which brain imaging technology has become the most influential tool of cognitive neuroscience and can be used for medical diagnosis?
○ functional magnetic resonance imaging
○ computed tomography
○ magnetic resonance imaging
○ positron emission tomography

Explanation:

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can measure brain - activity by detecting associated changes in blood flow. It is highly influential in cognitive neuroscience for studying brain - function relationships and is also used in medical diagnosis for certain neurological conditions. Computed tomography (CT) uses X - rays and is better for bone and some structural views. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows detailed anatomical structures but not brain function as well as fMRI. Positron emission tomography (PET) is more for metabolic and molecular imaging.

Answer:

functional magnetic resonance imaging
