Description
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.
• The only comprehensive and practical reference available • Provides a detailed description of recording methods and addresses issues encountered in a clinical setting • Provides an in-depth discussion of why and how the techniques are useful
