Electromagnetic source imaging
Encyclopedia
Electromagnetic Source Imaging is a functional imaging technique, which uses Electroencephalography
and/or Magnetoencephalography
measurements to map functional areas of the Cerebral cortex
.

Electroencephalography
Electroencephalography is the recording of electrical activity along the scalp. EEG measures voltage fluctuations resulting from ionic current flows within the neurons of the brain...

Cerebral cortex
The cerebral cortex is a sheet of neural tissue that is outermost to the cerebrum of the mammalian brain. It plays a key role in memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. It is constituted of up to six horizontal layers, each of which has a different...
