Definition
English
:
The measurement of
magnetic fields
over the head generated by electric currents in the brain. As in any electrical conductor, electric fields in the brain are accompanied by orthogonal
magnetic fields
. The measurement of these fields provides
information
about the localization of brain activity which is complementary to that provided by
ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY
.
Magnetoencephalography
may be used alone or together with
electroencephalography
, for measurement of spontaneous or evoked activity, and for
research
or clinical purposes.
