EEGMEGllä

EEGMEGllä is a method of brain-imaging technique that combines the principles of electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) to record electrical and magnetic signals simultaneously from the brain.

This multimodal imaging technique was developed to leverage the strengths of both EEG and MEG. EEG is a non-invasive method that measures the electrical activity of neurons in the brain by recording the voltage fluctuations across the scalp. However, its spatial resolution is limited. MEG, on the other hand, measures the magnetic fields generated by electrical activity in the brain, offering higher spatial resolution than EEG. However, MEG has its own limitations, including susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and limited temporal resolution.

EEGMEGllä combines the simultaneous acquisition of EEG and MEG signals, enabling researchers to take advantage of the strengths of both modalities. By combining the spatially poor but high temporal resolution of EEG with the spatial resolution of MEG, EEGMEGllä provides a more comprehensive understanding of brain activity. This technique has been demonstrated to be particularly valuable in the study of complex brain functions, such as motor control and sensory processing.

EEGMEGllä's high spatial and temporal resolution together make it an attractive tool for a wide range of applications, including neuroscience, clinical research, and medical imaging. However, the technique also faces challenges, such as the need for highly specialized equipment and sophisticated data analysis techniques. Despite these challenges, EEGMEGllä has the potential to contribute significantly to our understanding of brain function and its disorders.
