You want to record the activity of a group of neurons in the motor system to develop control of an artificial limb. Which of the following techniques would best measure this type of activity?

A) multi-unit recording procedures
B) a single-cell recording procedure
C) an MRI
D) a PET scanner

Multi-Unit Recording Procedures

Techniques used in neuroscience to record the electrical activity from multiple neurons simultaneously, often to study the brain's functional properties.

Motor System

The part of the central and peripheral nervous system that is involved in the movement and coordination of muscles.

Artificial Limb

A prosthetic device designed to replace the function or appearance of a missing arm or leg, enhancing mobility and quality of life for amputees.
