Magnetoencephalography and epilepsy research

DF Rose, PD Smith, and S Sato

Medical Neurology Branch, National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke, Bethesda, MD 20892.

Magnetoencephalography is the detection of the magnetic field distribution across the surface of the head, which is generated by a neuronal discharge within the brain. Magnetoencephalography is used in clinical epilepsy to localize the epileptogenic region prior to its surgical removal. A discussion of the instrumentation based on the superconducting quantum interference device that is used for detecting the magnetic field distribution, the analytical techniques, current research, and future directions of magnetoencephalography in epilepsy research is presented.
