This is the first volume to explore the field of clinical magnetoencephalography
(MEG) and magnetic source imaging (MSI), the techniques measuring the magnetic
fields generated by neuronal activity in the brain. Describing the empirical
knowledge gained during the last two decades, this book will serve as a basis
for the training of clinicians and scientists entering this new and exciting
field. The book covers the methods for recording MEG and performing MSI in a
clinical setting and includes practical examples of data collection and
analysis. It explains why MEG should be used in the evaluation and treatment of
patients being considered for epilepsy surgery, concluding with a section
describing the potential for future applications of these methods. This is
essential reading for graduate students in clinical neuroscience, residents in
neurology and psychiatry, neuroradiology and neurosurgery, specialists in
neurophysiology and epilepsy, and clinicians in a wide range of related brain
sciences. |
