Summary

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a recent method of medical imagery, linking cerebral function (with a temporal scale of one millisecond) with MRI. This non invasive and safe technique has numerous uses on normal or pathological cerebral functions: for instance cerebral mapping, localization of epileptogenic foci or psychiatric research. MEG equipment also has the advantage to mobilize the patient half a day instead of 15 days.
