Event Abstract Back to Event MEG neuroimaging in preschool-aged children: New insights into the developing brain Blake W. Johnson1* and Stephen Crain1 1 Macquarie University, Cognitive Science, Australia Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is an important technique for functional neuroimaging in the human brain. It has excellent temporal resolution, good spatial resolution, and is suitable for routine use even with young children. In this presentation we describe several current MEG studies of brain function in healthy pre-schoolers, conducted at the KIT-Macquarie Brain Research Laboratory using a novel child MEG system. These include studies of motor, perceptual, and language processing in three to five year old children. The results of these studies provide new insights into brain development and address an important gap in the human neuroimaging literature.
