Magnetoencephalography (MEG)

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a non-invasive imaging technique used to measure the magnetic fields produced by the activity of neurons in the brain. By placing a device with sensitive sensors around a person's head, MEG can detect these tiny magnetic signals and create detailed maps of brain activity. This helps researchers and clinicians understand how different areas of the brain function, important for studying conditions like epilepsy or planning surgeries. MEG provides real-time information about brain activity with high spatial and temporal resolution, making it a valuable tool for both neuroscience research and clinical applications.
