Magnetoencephalography
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a technique for mapping brain activity by recording magnetic fields produced by electrical currents occurring naturally in the brain, using arrays of SQUIDs (superconducting quantum interference devices). Applications of MEG include basic research into perceptual and cognitive brain processes, localizing regions affected by pathology before surgical removal, determining the function of various parts of the brain, and neurofeedback.

The error-correcting brain: New insights into the neurobiology of adaptive behavior
(Medical Xpress) -- A key phenomenon studied by neuroscientists is the brain’s ability to recognize errors when they occur, link them to the associated behavior, and apply those errors in a way that modifies ...
