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: http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/lrrl/megeeg.html This MEG appears to be combined with an EEG with cap. Here is a more complex explanation of MEG: http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/marti...ologiesMEG.php 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.
