What does VLSM assume about the functional organisa-
tion of the brain? (1)
a) That function is represented bilaterally in the brain
b) That function is represented unilaterally in the brain
b) That function is represented unilaterally in the brain
c) That function is not related to lesion location
d) A and C
What is the difference between event-related potentials
(ERPs) and oscillations in electroencephalography (EEG)?
(1)
a) ERPs measure the brain's response to a specific stim-
ulus, while EEG measures the brain's overall electrical

activity.

b) ERPs only measure activity in the motor cortex, while
tivity.
EEG measures activity in all areas of the brain.
c) ERPs are more accurate than EEG in localizing the
source of electrical activity in the brain.
d) ERPs are used for therapeutic purposes, while EEG is
used for diagnostic purposes.
What is the primary difference between structural MRI
(sMRI) and functional MRI (fMRI)? (1)
a) sMRI uses blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) con-
trast to measure brain activity, while fMRI uses anatomical
images to measure brain structure.
b) sMRI is used for diagnostic purposes, while fMRI is d) sMRI measures the structural characteristics of the

c) sMRI can only be used to study motor function, while brain.
fMRI can be used to study both motor and cognitive
function.
d) sMRI measures the structural characteristics of the
brain, while fMRI measures the functional activity of the
brain.
