Question

In one study, investigators monitored activity levels in a brain area (the FFA) that seems particularly responsive to pictures of faces, and another area (the PPA), which seems particularly responsive to pictures of places. Their data showed that:______.
a) brain activity in these two regions depended on what the person was consciously perceiving and not just what the stimulus was.
b) if a picture of a face was put in front of one eye and a picture of a different face was put in front of the other, then neither brain area would be highly activated.
c) the activity of these areas could be predicted if one simply knew what stimulus was in front of the person’s eyes.
d) high levels of activation were detected in the FFA even when pictures of houses were shown, illustrating the flexibility of brain function.

Answer 1
