Functional imaging with MEG and fMRI.
The possibility of integrating functional data from magnetoencephalografic (MEG) measurements and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) offers new insight on the brain organization. In fact, MEG and fMRI integration can provide accurate identification of active brain areas as well as a precise identification of the timing of brain response. In this paper two examples will be discussed: the first aiming at the characterization of the human primary (SI) and secondary (SII) somatosensory cortices, the second concerning how brain reacts to sound coming from different spatial directions.
