- Child MEG research
- The child MEG system is the first of it’s kind. It is especially designed to measure brain activity in children without requiring them to make conscious decisions. Using extremely sensitive sensors the MEG measures the magnetic fields generated by the brain whenever information is processed. We can therefore see how a child’s brain responds when s/he is reading, looking at pictures or listening to real words vs non-words.
