Magnetoencephalography

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a non-invasive, advanced imaging technique used to measure and visualize the tiny magnetic fields generated by electrical activity in the brain. Due to its high temporal resolution and excellent source localization, MEG provides a valuable tool for neuroscientists to investigate the functional organization of the brain. MEG is used to study neuropsychiatric disorders, investigate developmental and anatomical abnormalities, and evaluate damage due to stroke and diseases like Alzheimer’s. It can also be used to assess the effectiveness of medical interventions. Additionally, MEG has been used to study higher cognitive processes such as language, consciousness, and memory. Thus, MEG is a powerful tool for neuroscience research and clinical applications.
