This project introduces the world's first brain imaging system to study cognitive processing in children, using magnetoencephalography (MEG). MEG offers precise measurement of brain activities using a non-invasive, non-contact method. MEG is an ideal brain imaging device for use with children and with special clinical populations. It promises to be valuable (a) for the identification of cortical functions of the human brain prior to surgery, (b) for the diagnosis of loci for developmental and acquired brain disorders, (c) in determining pharmaceutical effects on children, and (d) in the assessment of recovery of sensory and cognitive functions following brain injury.

该项目介绍了世界上第一个使用脑磁图（MEG）研究儿童认知过程的脑成像系统。MEG使用非侵入性、非接触式方法精确测量大脑活动。脑磁图是一种理想的用于儿童和特殊临床人群的脑成像设备。它有望在以下方面有价值：（a）在手术前鉴定人脑的皮质功能，（B）诊断发育和获得性脑疾病的位点，（c）确定药物对儿童的影响，和（d）评估脑损伤后感觉和认知功能的恢复。
