Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Contact heat stimulation is widely used for brain activity research, typically with electroencephalography (EEG).
  • Magnetoencephalography (MEG) offers superior spatial resolution but faces challenges with certain contact heat stimulators.
  • This review systematically examines the use of contact heat in MEG studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess existing research utilizing contact heat stimulation with MEG.
  • To identify key findings and methodological considerations in these studies.
  • To suggest future research directions for contact heat-MEG applications.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted across eight electronic databases.
  • Reference lists, citations, and ConnectedPapers maps were also utilized.
  • Inclusion criteria required studies to use MEG for brain activity recording with contact heat stimulation.

Main Results:

  • Seven studies met the inclusion criteria from 646 initial results.
  • Demonstrated successful electromagnetic artifact removal from MEG data.
  • Showcased the ability to elicit affective anticipation and identify differences in deep brain stimulation responders.

Conclusions:

  • Contact heat is a practical alternative to laser or electrical stimulation in experimental research.
  • Methods are available to mitigate electromagnetic noise from equipment like PATHWAY CHEPS.
  • Further research is needed, particularly concerning the post-stimulus time window.
