Patient in a MEG scanner
Patient in a magnetoencephalograph (MEG) scanner. A researcher directing a patient to perform various tasks as a MEG scanner maps brain activity. MEG is a functional neuroimaging technique which maps brain activity by recording magnetic fields produced by the electrical currents naturally occurring in the brain. Unlike electroencephalography (EEG) scanners, these typically use highly sensitive SQUIDs (Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices) to detect the extremely small magnetic fields and associated gradients generated by neural activity in different parts of the brain. By measuring the minute changes in magnetic fields generated by the cerebral cortex while resting, while thinking and while engaged in some particular task, deficits in the brain can be measured and localized. The resulting data may be used to investigate psychiatric and neurological disorders such as ADHD, epilepsy and age-related memory and cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
