Experience a virtual demonstration of the Elekta Neuromag® magnetoencephalography (MEG) system, the first of its kind in Canada. MEG is a non-invasive imaging technique that detects the magnetic field generated by the brain, enabling physicians and scientists to measure the activity of the brain where and when it is happening, providing critical information about brain function.
