Brain-hand control from MEG scan. Computer image of a human brain in side view,depicting brain to hand nerve control. Colour-coded squares on the cerebrum correspond to nerve areas associated with finger movement. At centre (magenta) is a brain tumour. These nerve motor areas of the brain were located by magnetoencephalography (MEG),a brain scanning technique that measures magnetic fields generated from nerve activity in the brain. By knowing which brain areas are responsible for body function,a surgeon can remove a tumour without damaging important sites in the brain. This brain image was constructed from MRI scan data.
