Neuroimaging Techniques and Psychological Traits: A Comprehensive Overview, Quizzes of Psychology

Definitions and explanations of various neuroimaging techniques used in psychology and neuroscience, including galvanic skin response, polygraphs, ct scans, mri scans, rcbf, pet scans, spect, and metatraits. These techniques measure different physiological responses and brain activities to assess stress, fear, anxiety, metabolic activity, and mental operations.
