Magnetoencephalography equipment

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a technique that records functional brain activity by capturing the magnetic fields produced and projected outwards during neuronal activity. MEG is therefore a non-invasive technique that does not require the patient to be prepared in any way (e.g. fasting, administration of medication, injection of radioactive markers), nor does it subject the patient to any kind of radiation or electromagnetic field. The magnetoencephalograph is helmet-shaped, with sensors located along the cranial convexity. In order to prevent noise from unwanted signals, the equipment is situated in a room insulated from the outside.
