1968 D. Cohen in Science 23 Aug. 784 (title) Magnetoencephalography: evidence of magnetic fields produced by alpha-rhythm currents.
1986 Daily Tel. 10 Dec. 4/3 Magnetoencephalography will help understand and treat severe epilepsy.
1997 New Scientist 13 Dec. 30/3 He reported an analysis of brain scan data collected by magnetoencephalography, using a method of correlation that highlights increases and decreases in activity in different parts of the brain that occur over the same period.
