Abstract

Over the past two decades, numerous studies have demonstrated that functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) conveniently maps brain activity, both at rest and during a task. The spatial resolution of fMRI in clinical scanners can exceed 1 mm in plane resolution. The temporal resolution, however, is limited to around 1 s or perhaps a few hundred milliseconds depending on the technique and the paradigm used. Today, in the clinical and research setting, MEG often supplements the spatial information from fMRI with high temporal information.
