Unlocking the Secrets of Human Brain Function: MEG-EEG Primer 2nd Edition

Authored by renowned experts Riitta Hari and Aina Puce, the MEG-EEG Primer presents a comprehensive A-to-Z guide to two non-invasive human electrophysiological methods: magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG). These cutting-edge techniques are used to explore human brain dynamics, tracking responses to sensory, cognitive, and social stimuli.

Understanding Brain Function through MEG and EEG

This book, now in its second edition, remains the only volume of its kind to discuss both MEG and EEG side-by-side, providing an integrated understanding of brain function. The 22 chapters, featuring almost 200 color figures, delve into the basic physical and physiological foundations of these two methods, as well as their historical background, implementation, instrumentation, recording techniques, data analysis, and interpretation.

New Edition, New Insights

The updated edition expands on MEG and EEG sensor types and amplifiers, artifacts, new analysis tools, open data repositories, and novel instrumentation. Additionally, it addresses the critical concern of general infection control in MEG/EEG laboratories in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Interoception, an emerging research field, is also introduced.

Future Developments and Applications

The book examines future developments in MEG and EEG in light of new and evolving technologies, as well as new applications for their use. By doing so, it puts into perspective the role of MEG and EEG in neuroscience research and the future of our understanding of human brain function dynamics.
