fMri Flashcards
1
Q
strength: much safer
A
much safer than other methods, non-invasive and doesn’t use radiation to identify difference in brain areas,UNLIKE PET which use small amounts of radiation that could still lead to potential harm, FMRI more appropriate
2
Q
strength/weakness:
A
Fmri higher spatial resolution than EEG ERP so can accurately identify specific brain areas involved in behaviour, depicting detail by milimeter, clear image of how brain is localised, FMRI POORER TEMPORAL RES, 5 second time lag behind image on screen and initial firing of neuronal activity, Fmris don’t truly represent moment to moment brain activity
