Methods to Measure Electromagnetic Activity: MEG (Magnetoencephalography) - EEC (Electroencephalography) Signal Source: Electrical Activity of nerve cells. What is measured on the surface of the head is the result of mostly postsynaptic potentials (excitatory or inhibitory) Many nerve cells are aligned in palisades (e. g. pyramidal cells) and post-synaptic electrical fields sum with increasing area. Typically it is thought that 100, 000 adjacent neurons acting in temporal synchrony are required to produce a measurable change in the magnetic field Columbia f. MRI Hirsch, J. , et al
Relationship between currents in the brain and the magnetic field outside the head. Based on the discovery that electrical currents generate magnetic fields: Hans Christian Oersted, a Danish physicist (early 19 th. century) A current source with strength Q causes a current flow Jv within the brain. Columbia f. MRI The current flow produces a potential difference V on the scalp: (measured by EEG) B V Q Jv And a magnetic field B outside of the head: (measured by MEG) from: www.

Magnetoencephalography, MEG Tiny magnetic fields produced by brain activity (10 -13 Teslas) can be measured using Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs). SQUIDS operate at superconducting temperatures (-269 o. C). Sensors are placed in a dewar containing liquid helium. Stimulus – evoked neuromagnetic signals are recorded by an array of detectors. The spatial location of the source is inferred by mathematical modeling of the magnetic field pattern. Columbia f. MRI Hirsch, J. , et al
