Answer:

This question is incomplete; the remaining part is as follows:

Which of the following best explains Alex's experience?

a. The amygdala in Alex's brain is damaged.

b. Alex's brain has unstable dopamine levels.

c. Alex's occipital lobe is artificially stimulated.

d. Alex's Wernicke's area is artificially stimulated.

The answer is C. Alex's occipital lobe is artificially stimulated.

Explanation:

According to this question, Alex is involved in an experiment involving the electrical activation of a part of his brain in a dark room by neurosurgeons. This causes him to see flashes of light despite the dark room he was placed.

Based on this, it can be said that the part of his brain that was activated is the OCCIPITAL LOBE, which is one of the four major lobes in the cerebrum. The occipital lobe is located at the rear of the head where it functions relatedly to VISION in organisms. The occipital lobe is responsible for the processing and interpretation of visual contents.

Therefore, in this case, Alex was able to see flashes of light even in a dark room because his OCCIPITAL LOBE IS ARTIFICIALLY STIMULATED by the electrical current.
