MEG is MagnetoEncephaloGraphy. It is a new technology that measures the electromagnetic energy of minute areas of the brain. It can be used to pinpoint areas of damage.

You will likely have a difficult time finding a clinic that uses it. It is more a research system at present. It is much less annoying than the qEEG or EEG.

Danielle's reaction to the discomfort of the EEG cap and goop may indicate a low threshold of stress/discomfort. Maybe the duration was a bit much for her. I did not find the cap to be overly uncomfortable.

A MEG system is much shorter duration in my understanding. It is more like a CT or MRI. See this web site:

This MEG appears to be combined with an EEG with cap.

Here is a more complex explanation of MEG:

It sounds like a very interesting upcoming technology. As it become more common and some of the functional problems are resolved, it could answer many questions about focal abnormalities in the brain.
