Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique that can detect whole-brain neuroelectromagnetic signals in real-time in a single measurement. Due to excellent temporal and spatial resolution and integration of computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging data, MEG allows signal source analysis. It can pinpoint epileptic foci as well as functional brain regions, reducing the necessity for invasive electrode implantation.
