Explanation / Answer

1. The technique that provides the best temporal resolution of cognitive process is fMRI. The functional MRI is a functional neuroimaging technology that measures brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow and neural activation are coupled. When the area of brain is in use blood flow to that reason also increases.

2. Penfield and Jaspes used direct cortical stimulation method to map the motor and somatosensory strips.

3. Direct communication between the celebral hemisphere is accomplished by a large tract of white matter fibre called corpus callosum. It is the structure that holds two celebral hemisphere.

4.The event related potential ERP methodology involve finding the average blood flow changes following a stimulus event.
