past and present research on the brain
3 answers
neural activity in specific areas of the brain
Are you sure it's not increases in blood flow and oxygen to different parts of the brain?
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.
