Abstract
A pilot study was carried out to test the feasibility of an adjustable computerized brain atlas, adapted to the individual anatomy for localizing current dipoles by means of magnetoencephalography (MEG). The atlas can be adapted to individual computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) images. Position information is transferred between these imaging methods and MEG using a stereotactic technique. For this purpose, a special non-magnetic helmet was designed to be used together with the ordinary head fixation system. It seems likely that the proposed combination of the brain atlas with MEG, CT and MRI methods will become a powerful tool in exploring different brain functions.
