About the instrument

MEG measures the weak magnetic fields generated by the electrical activity of the brain. Unlike the electrical fields of EEG, these fields are relatively unaffected by intervening tissue, which can improve the accuracy of estimating where in the brain activity came from. The TRUIX neo is a 306-channel SQUID-based MEG system.

Available to Yale researchers only
