Question

Studies have found that "people find brain images and neuroscience language more convincing than results that make no reference to the brain (McCabe & Castel, 2008; etc" (Beck, 2010). Raymond is a research assistant who claims that brain-imaging data is absolutely objective. Which of the following is the best response to Raymond's claim?A. His claim is true because brain-imaging data are a direct measure of brain activity.B. His claim is not true because brain-imaging data are bound by theories of how the data should be interpreted.C. His claim is true because brain-imaging data capture the neural basis of behavior.

Answer 1

B. His claim is not true because brain-imaging data are bound by theories of how the data should be interpreted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Raymond's claim about brain-imaging data is not true. This is because the data gotten and interpreted are actually governed by certain theories. These theories reveal how the data should be interpreted.

Brain-imaging techniques help neuroscientists to see what goes on in the brain. It helps them to detect neurological disorders.
