What is MEG?

MEG, or Magnetoencephalography, is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique that measures magnetic fields produced by electrical activity in the brain. It is commonly used to study brain function in both healthy individuals and those with neurological disorders, providing high temporal resolution for capturing the timing of brain activity. MEG is useful for research in cognitive neuroscience, epilepsy diagnosis, and pre-surgical planning.

MEG Complementary Technologies

EEG

EEG measures electrical activity in the brain using electrodes placed on the scalp. While it has lower spatial resolution than MEG, it is often used in conjunction with MEG to provide a more complete picture of brain activity.
