MEG - EEG Primer (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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.

Autorenporträt

Riitta Hari, a Professor Emerita at Aalto University, has been carrying out and leading research on systems-level neuroscience and human neuroimaging since the early 1980s. Her team is well known for the development of magnetoencephalography (MEG) for tracking activation sequences in healthy and diseased human brains, providing fundamental insights into human sensory, motor, cognitive and social functions. Dr. Hari is Academician of Science in Finland and an International Member of the National Academy of Sciences USA. Aina Puce is the Eleanor Cox Riggs Professor of Social Justice and Ethics at Indiana University. She once served as Deputy Director for the Brain Sciences Institute in Melbourne, Australia, and has directed neuroimaging centers at West Virginia University's School of Medicine and at Indiana University. Her laboratory is best known for its multimodal neuroimaging studies of information processing from dynamic faces, hands, and bodies, which include intracranial and scalp EEG, MEG, and fMRI studies.
