MEG-EEG Primer presents the basic A-to-Z of two non-invasive human
electrophysiological methods, magnetoencephalography (MEG) and
electroencephalography (EEG). These methods are used to study human
brain dynamics, tracking the brain's responses to sensory, cognitive,
and social stimuli. This book, now in its second edition, remains the
only volume of its kind that discusses both MEG and EEG side-by-side,
for an integrated understanding of brain function. In 22 chapters with
almost two hundred color figures, the book covers the basic physical
and physiological foundations of these two methods, the historical
background and development of their implementation, instrumentation,
recording techniques, data analysis, and interpretation.
The new
edition includes expanded text on MEG and EEG sensor types and
amplifiers, artifacts, new analysis tools, open data repositories, and
novel instrumentation. Due to new concerns from the COVID-19 pandemic,
general infection control in MEG/EEG laboratories is also discussed.
Interoception is introduced as an interesting emerging research field.
Moreover, future developments in MEG and EEG are examined with respect
to new and evolving technologies, and new applications for their use.
Overall, MEG-EEG Primer puts into perspective the role of MEG and EEG
in neuroscience research at large, and the future of our understanding
of the dynamics of human brain function.
