Q

the technique that is based on magnetic properties of oxyhaemoglobin and deoxygenated haemoglobin in blood is called…

18
Q

the signal in fMRI is called… (BOLD)

A

blood-oxygenation-level-dependent

19
Q

increased neuronal activity lead to __ in deoxygenated haemoglobin and __ in magnetic signal

A

increase, decrease

20
Q

changes in blood flow is an index of __ __

A

neural activity

21
Q

what measures areas of the brain during different tasks?

A

event-related fMRI

22
Q

when working on long term memory tasks, which areas in the brain light up?

A

prefrontal cortex, precuneus

23
Q

which area controls the flow of info in the brain?

A

posterior parietal cortex (PPC)

24
Q

what’s the name of analysis package that use yellow for the most activity and blue and black for less activity?

A

statistical parametric mapping (SPM)

25
when a person watches a constantly changing checkerboard pattern, which area lights up?
primary visual cortex
26
technique that look at how different brain areas interact is called...
