Title:
The Physics behind Noninvasive Imaging of the Living Human Brain

Abstract:
Modern medical imaging has opened a window that allows us to study electric and metabolic activity of the living human brain noninvasively. The most important of these methodologies are electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG) and various types of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We show how these powerful methods can be used to obtain a deeper understanding of brain structure and functions but also discuss their limits.
