Researchers can now see actual thought processes by measuring _____________.

Question

Responses

neuron exchanges in the brain
spikes in the brain’s electrical currents
increases in blood flow and oxygen to different parts of the brain
past and present research on the brain

Answer 1

neural activity in specific areas of the brain

Answer 2

Are you sure it's not increases in blood flow and oxygen to different parts of the brain?

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. Yes, you are correct. Researchers can also observe thought processes by measuring increases in blood flow and oxygen to different parts of the brain. This technique is known as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). By tracking changes in blood flow, researchers can infer which brain regions are active during specific cognitive tasks or thoughts. Thank you for pointing that out.
