Our technology

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) captures the magnetic fields produced by electrical activity. It also uses excellent spatiotemporal precision. It offers insights into brain functions through spectral properties in various frequency bands. It provides a deeper look at the spatiotemporal dynamics of neural signals. This tool enhances our understanding of the brain's functions, enabling breakthroughs in neuroscience. MEG detects weak magnetic fields generated by synchronized brain activities. At the same time, a magnetically shielded room (MSR) ensures zero outside interference.
