Magnetoencephalography (MEG)

Our facilities include a 248-magnetometer wholehead MEG system (WH3600, 4D), simultaneous EEG recording, eye-tracking, and a complete set of stimulation systems. The MEG is inside a double-wall magnetically shielded room by IMEDCO.

What is MEG? Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is an imaging technique used to measure the magnetic fields produced by electrical activity in the brain via extremely sensitive devices (SQUIDs). These measurements are commonly used in both research and clinical settings. There are many uses for the MEG, including assisting surgeons in localizing a pathology, assisting researchers in determining the function of various parts of the brain, neurofeedback, and others.
