This Primer fulfills a gap in the human neurophysiology literature where no book exists dealing with MEG and EEG in equal terms. This is important since both methodologies are, in essence, complementary and jointly can be used to answer specific scientific questions with respect to a variety of brain functions. Special attention is paid to comparisons of findings obtained using both MEG and EEG modalities, what can yield important new insights, particularly in the growing field of cognitive neuroscience. Written in an appealing style, this Primer embraces the whole field of human neurophysiology. -Fernando Lopes Da Silva, MD, PhD, Emeritus Professor, Center of Neuroscience, Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

They are usually discussed separately in the literature, which makes it difficult to optimize the use MEG and EEG to target specific neuroscience or clinical questions. This engaging Primer is a welcome addition because it covers all aspects of both methods on equal footing. This volume covers the physiological and physical point of view, the path from data acquisition to analysis and interpretation, and discusses many different types of data that can be acquired. It is useful reading for newcomers, for experts of one method or the other, and developers of new methods to give them a thorough understanding of the physiological and physical underpinnings of MEG/EEG."" --Matti Hämäläinen, PhD, Associate Professor of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA"

Author Information

Riitta Hari MD, PhD researches systems neuroscience and neuroimaging. She has pioneered the use of MEG in the study of the spatiotemporal dynamics of sensory, motor, cognitive and social brain functions both in health and disease. Her background training is in medicine, with specialization in clinical neurophysiology. Aina Puce, PhD is a social neuroscientist with research interests in the brain bases of human non-verbal communication. Her studies in basic and clinical human neuroscience have used scalp and intracranial EEG, and functional MRI methods. Her formal training was in biophysics and functional brain mapping/neurophysiology.
