The correct answer is (c) They show which part of the brain are involved in specific activities.

The functional magnetic resonance imaging is used to measure the activity of brain by the detecting the change in the blood flow. This is done because the cerebral blood flow is associated with the neuronal activation. The functional area of brain has a higher blood flow that can be observed in functional MRI. The commercial application of functional magnetic resonance imaging is used in lie detectors. This technique is also used in research world and in some clinical trails. Physicians use this technique to see how risky a brain surgery can be. It is also used to learn how a normal, diseased, or injured brain functions.

ANTONII [103]

The frontal lobe of the brain is not essential for driving a motor vehicle. The only time that the frontal lobe would be activated during driving would be when there is potential danger, for example a car swerving in front of you. The dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex is more essential for driving, as it is involved in judgment and decision making.
