Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MEG (magnetoencephalography) involves the recording of the magnetic output of the brain, specifically the detection of the tiny magnetic fields generated by the electrical activity of the neurons. This is done using highly sensitive sensors that are positioned outside the head. MEG is different from EEG (electroencephalography), which records electrical activity from the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp. MEG provides a more precise localization of brain activity and can be used to study both normal brain function and pathology. It is often used in research and clinical settings to study a variety of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.
