Development of Electroencephalography (EEG) and Magnetoencephalography (MEG) Source Reconstruction With Fast Multipole Method
Sponsor: Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an advanced 256 dry electrode EEG cap augmented with MEG readings and coupled with a new high-resolution fast brain modeling software gives a better EEG and MEG source localization in real time. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the testbed better localize brain sources for finger movement? * Does the testbed better localize brain sources for median nerve stimulation? * Does the testbed better localize brain sources for speech processing? * Researchers will compare the predicted cortical locations with MEG data and known anatomical locations of the neuronal generators. Participants will: * Undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans for brain and head model creation * Undergo three different EEG tests * Undergo three different MEG tests
