Abstract
The measurement and analysis of the magnetic fields of the brain are discussed. The capabilities of magnetoencephalography are examined, and the measurement techniques are described. The ability of MEG measurements to map neural activity with high resolution is discussed, and analysis techniques that accomplish this are examined. The benefits of combining the functional information provided by MEG with the structural information provided by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging are considered.<>
