Answer 1

• cut the corpus callosum to stop hemispheres communicating
• information from thr right vidual field was sent to the left hemisphere and vive versa

Question 2

Hemispheric specialisation

Answer 2

the difference in functioning between the left and right hemispheres of the brain when performing a specfic task

Question 3

CT scan

Answer 3

-computerised tomography
-taking continuous 2D x-ray images of a persons brain which then can be staked to create a 3D image
- must ingest a contrast dye
- structural

Question 4

MRI

Answer 4

-magnetic resonance imaging
- used magnetic and radio fields ot capture 2D and 3D images
- structural

Question 5

PET scan

Answer 5

-positron emission tomography
- uses scanning device to take coloured images of the brain by tracking the activity of radioactive glucose
- must be injected with a solution and have to perform certain tasks
- functional
