Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Electrodes are placed on the skin surface in the periorbital region, specifically approximately 1 cm lateral to the outer canthi of the eyes and offset from the horizontal plane (i.e., 1 cm above the horizontal plane on one side and 1 cm below the horizontal plane on the other side).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The height or depth of the deflection depends on the movement of the eyes relative to the fixed electrodes. Eye movement away from the electrode shows an upward deflection on the elec-trooculogram, and eye movement toward the electrode shows a downward deflection. When looking up with the electrodes in place, the left eye has moved away from its electrode, and the right eye has moved toward its electrode. Because the movement is not directly toward either right or left, the deflections produced by either electrode are smaller than left or right movement.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
