Magnetoencephalography (MEG) Recordings to Interrogate the Brain

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to record brain activity using MEG in patients who are receiving MEG for clinical indications. MEG is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique that records the magnetic fields produced by neural activity. The MEG machine is completely passive, does not emit any electromagnetic activity, and does not have any known health related risks. The study aims to:

  1. Establish baseline MEG data across different age groups and medical conditions.
  2. Explore task-induced brain activity under different cognitive and sensory conditions.
  3. Investigate brain patters in patients receiving MEG for clinical indicaitons as ordered by their clinical team.
