Preferred term

magnetoencephalography  

Definition

  • How are events in the external world transformed into perceptual experiences via electrical coding in the brain? This simple question forms one of the most basic and long-standing problems of perception. Magnetoencephalography, or MEG, is one of several noninvasive brain imaging techniques that allow scientists to explore the link between neural activity and perception.Like the related technique of electroencephalography (EEG), MEG essentially measures electrical currents generated by neural activity.
