| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the most invasive imaging method? | Single cell recording |
| I spin the protons in your body to align them in order to create an image of your tissues. What imaging method am I? | An MRI |
| I am able to determine what stage of sleep you are in. What type of imaging method am I? | EEG |
| What is the waveform associated with the neural activity generated from taking this test? | Beta waveform, which is approximately 14-30Hz |
| What is the waveform associated with the neural activity generated from staring out the window and thinking about nothing in particular? | Alpha waveform, which is about 8-13Hz |
| What is the waveform associated with the neural activity generated from light sleep? | Theta waveform, which is about 4-7Hz |
| What is the waveform associated with the neural activity generated from deep sleep? | Delta waveform, which is less than 3.5Hz |
| What imaging method is the most accurate method to determine spatial information, such as the location of a mass of abnormal tissue? | MRI |
| What imaging method is the most accurate method to determine if a young child has sleep apnea? Why? | EEG, because this method is more resistant to movement. |
| What imaging method is the most accurate method to determine temporal information? | EEG |
| I am a scientist releasing research and I have determined that the insula of your brain lights up on fMRI scans when you look at your iPhone, therefore, you love it more than your dog. Am I likely to be correct or incorrect, and why? | It is more likely that I am incorrect because the insula controls many functions. This is an oversimplified explanation that chooses only one of many possible functions of an activated brain area. |
| I am a scientist releasing research and I have determine that a SPECT scan can diagnose your nose-picking compulsion and with just one low-priced scan, I can help you find a cure. Am I likely to be correct or incorrect, and why? | I am likely to be incorrect because it is not currently possible to diagnose a mental illness with a single scan using existing technology. This is an oversimplification and is similar to the lobotomobile offered by Walter Freeman - a quick fix for a com |
