Which of the following principles underlies the technique of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) ?
A) It rests on the principle that mental activity is associated with changes in glucose levels in the brain.
B) It rests on the principle that mental activity is associated with changes in the oxygenated blood levels in the brain.
C) It rests on the principle that mental activity is associated with changes in hydrogenated blood levels in the brain.
D) It rests on the principle that mental activity is associated with changes in magnetic fields in the brain.
Oxygenated Blood Levels
A measurement of the amount of oxygen carried by red blood cells in the blood, indicative of respiratory and circulatory system efficiency.
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a neuroimaging procedure using MRI technology to measure and map brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow.
Mental Activity
The cognitive operations of the brain, encompassing thought, memory, problem-solving, and processing of information.
