Applications of M/EEG
Applications of EEG and MEG cover:
-
Clinical domain: diagnosis of neurological disorders such as
-
Cognitive research aims at better understanding the brain spatio-temporal organisation.
-
Brain Computer Interfaces look at allowing a direct control of the world using brain signal such as EEG signals. Those can be considered both as an application of EEG processing techniques and as a tool for fundamental and applied research as it opens the way for more dynamical and active brain cognitive protocols.
The dream of all M/EEG researchers is to alleviate the need for invasive recordings (electrocorticograms or intracerebral electrodes), which are often necessary prior to brain surgery, in order to precisely locate both pathological and vital functional areas. We are involved in this quest, particularly through our collaboration with the La Timone hospital in Marseille. M/EEG are also used in cognitive research, and we collaborate with the Laboratory for Neurobiology of Cognition in order to develop methods that suit their needs for sophisticated data analysis.
