Abstract
The non-invasive techniques of electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalog-raphy (MEG) are necessary for understanding both spatial and temporal behavior of the brain. Arrays of EEG and MEG sensors measure electric potential on the scalp and magnetic field around the head, respectively. This electromagnetic field is generated by neuronal activity in the brain, and provide information about both its spatial distribution and temporal dynamics. This is in contrast to other brain imaging techniques that measure anatomical information (MRI, CT), blood flow or blood volume (fMRI, SPECT), or metabolism of oxygen or sugar (PET). Furthermore, the temporal resolution of EEG/MEG is far superior to that achieved by other modalities [3].
