Question

(1) you want to turn on neurons to make humans perceive visual things. which neuroscience method should you use to non - invasively stimulate the primary visual cortex in humans?
deep brain stimulation (dbs)
designer receptor exclusively activated by designer drug (dreadd)
electrocorticography (ecog)
optogenetics
transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms)

Explanation:

• Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): Involves implanting electrodes in the brain, which is an invasive procedure.
• Designer Receptor Exclusively Activated by Designer Drug (DREADD): Requires genetic modification and drug administration, not non - invasive.
• ElectroCorticoGraphy (ECoG): Involves placing electrodes on the brain's surface, which is invasive.
• Optogenetics: Requires genetic engineering and light delivery to neurons, often invasive in humans.
• Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): Uses magnetic fields to stimulate neurons non - invasively through the skull.

Answer:

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
