Description MEG equipment is dedicated to the acquisition of MEG and EEG data. These two modalities are the only existing ones to report brain activity with an adapted temporal resolution. Besides, MEG takes advantage of the fact that magnetic fields are little affected by the tissues constituting or surrounding the brain, which gives it unique properties for the identification and, description of the brain activity original sources. MEG first serves the Dynamap team of the 'Institut de Neuroscience des Systèmes' and which research mainly focuses on signal processing and the use of MEG signals in cognition and epilepsy. The entire facility was born as part of a consotrium between the Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Marseille (AP-HM) near the Faculty of Medicine of Aix-Marseille University and the Institute of Systems Neuroscience (INS) to which it belongs to. Precisely, the platform is located within the epileptology and cerebral rythmology department of AP-HM, which gives it unique access to clinical research, especially in epileptology.
