Identify at least three different ways that a clinician might study the functioning of your brain if you were suffering from symptoms that suggested a brain injury. Discuss how each of those techniques is performed, and identify a disadvantage of each technique.
What will be an ideal response?
Students can select from a variety of techniques presented in the textbook, including EEG, PET scan, MRI, TMS, or Optogenetics. Students might also opt to select fMRI. The general methods and advantages/disadvantages of each approach are found in Table 2.1, though fMRI is discussed in the "Thinking Critically" section. Instructors may also give credit for students who identify DTI (diffusion tensor imaging), though that is technically a form of MRI.
