title: Magnetoencephalography: locating the source of P300 via magnetic field recording.
abstract: A description is given of the theory and instrumentation involved in measuring magnetic fields of the brain. The magnetic counterpart of event-related potentials are capable of locating more accurately the generators of these electrical signals. Preliminary results of the first application of magnetoencephalography in Australia are presented. These localize the generator of the auditory P300 event-related potential component to the temporal cortex.
