Magnetoencephalography (MEG) can measure brain activity in ms-level temporal resolution. MEG sensors are super sensitive devices for magnetic signals of the brain but are also prone to electromagnetic interferences. The MEG device is located inside the magnetically shielded room (MSR), and any monitoring device used inside the MSR requires special shielding and its location must be carefully selected to suppress electromagnetic interference. Eye-tracker measures eye movements, providing spatial location of the gaze, pupil diameters, and eye blinks. Eye tracking in MEG enables, for example, categorization of the MEG data based on gaze position and interactive stimulus using gaze position. Combining the methods together will require considering the electromagnetic interference for the MEG-that is, additional shielding, positioning of the eye tracker, and subject-specific issues related to make-up and eye-corrective lenses.
脑磁图(MEG)能够以毫秒级的时间分辨率测量大脑活动。MEG传感器是用于检测大脑磁信号的超灵敏设备,但也容易受到电磁干扰。MEG设备放置在磁屏蔽室(MSR)内,而在MSR内使用的任何监测设备都需要特殊屏蔽,并且其位置必须经过精心挑选,以抑制电磁干扰。眼动仪用于测量眼球运动,提供注视的空间位置、瞳孔直径和眨眼情况。在MEG中进行眼动追踪,例如,可以根据注视位置对MEG数据进行分类,并利用注视位置进行交互式刺激。将这些方法结合起来需要考虑MEG的电磁干扰,即额外的屏蔽、眼动仪的定位以及与化妆和眼镜相关的个体特定问题。
