Biography
Gavin Perry is Multimodal Laboratories Manager at Cardiff University Brain Research Imagine Centre (CUBRIC). His research interest is in the application of MEG to the study of visual perception.
"Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is increasingly being used to provide new insights into brain function in both health and disease, providing a richness of information that cannot be provided by any other non-invasive technique in humans. However, this complexity means that MEG can be daunting for new students and researchers. In this book, Dr Perry provides an excellent introduction to the core physical principles underlying MEG, the nature of the data and the questions that can be asked, before covering the different approaches to source localisation and analysis. The book is therefore highly recommended for anyone interested in either starting to use MEG in their own research or simply learning more about this powerful tool for neuroscience research."
- Krish Singh, Cardiff University"The reader is taken on the journey from experimental conception to data interpretation, this exceptionally useful and accessible resource will be invaluable to researchers starting out in MEG."
- Matthew Brookes, University of Nottingham
