KIT-Maryland MEG Lab
Facility Location
Avrum Gudelsky Building (Bldg. #795), 8077 Greenmead Drive, College Park, MD
Brief Mission / Description
The KIT-Maryland Magnetoencephalography (MEG) Center, a campus-wide facility, is the result of a collaboration between the University of Maryland and the Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT), Japan. The resources of the KIT-Maryland Magnetoencephalography Center at College Park, which are available to the University of Maryland community, have been housed at the Maryland Neuroimaging Center since 2014.
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a technique for recording brain activity. The MEG device allows fully non-invasive measurements of neuronal activity in the brain, by recording magnetic fields at 160 different sites around the head, and provides precise spatiotemporal localization of brain responses.
Hours of Operation
Monday - Friday: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Services and Technologies and Equipment
The KIT-Maryland MEG Center, in addition to the 160-channel whole-head MEG scanner, also provides a magnetically shielded room, a dedicated stimulus delivery computer, a calibrated stimulus delivery system, magnetic and vibrational noise reference acquisition systems, seven dedicated data acquisition computers, a 3D head-shape digitization system, three computers dedicated to data analysis and long-term data storage.
