Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biophysics
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a non-contact, non-invasive neuroimaging technique.
  • It detects magnetic fields produced by the brain's electrical activity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To extract spatiotemporal patterns of neural electrical activity from external magnetic field measurements.
  • To utilize these brain activity estimates for studying mechanisms of normal brain function.
  • To understand the causes and processes underlying neurological dysfunction.

Main Methods:

  • Non-contact detection of magnetic fields generated by neuronal electrical activity.
  • Signal analysis of magnetoencephalography data.
  • Application of derived brain activity estimates to neuroscience research.

Main Results:

  • MEG provides estimates of the spatiotemporal patterns of brain electrical activity.
  • These estimates reflect collective neuronal activity, crucial for brain function.
  • The derived data can be used to investigate the mechanisms of brain function and dysfunction.

Conclusions:

  • Magnetoencephalography is a valuable tool for studying brain function.
  • It aids in understanding the neural basis of both normal cognition and neurological disorders.
  • MEG facilitates research into the "why, when, and how" of brain function failures.
