Qualcomm Institute, University of California San Diego

Since September of 2005, we’ve helped over one thousand people with our state-of-the-art technology. We are one of only about 20 health care centers in the nation to perform magnetoencephalography (MEG), a non-invasive, painless and quiet technique for measuring the very weak magnetic fields in the brain, associated with the brain’s electrical activity.

An Advanced Technique

The technique uses sensors to detect very weak magnetic fields in the brain, associated with the brain’s electrical activity. Unlike electrical signals, these magnetic fields travel through the skull without distortion and can be measured by highly specialized instruments. MEG is currently the most advanced and accurate non-invasive technique for imaging the brain’s functions in real time.

Helping Patients and Expanding Knowledge

The MEG Center’s team is dedicated to both clinical and research advances. It has presurgically localized sources of epileptic seizures, and localized functional brain regions near brain tumors, to improve patients’ surgical outcomes; mapped brain networks and rhythms to diagnose traumatic brain injury and other neurological disorders; and conducted research to evaluate drug treatment efficacy in patients with schizophrenia.
