Lets not get carried away; MEG (Magneto-Encepholograpy) is similar to EEG - 
electroencephalograpy but it measures magnetic rather than electrical activity. This 
makes it possible obtain more accurate spacial information than with EEG. It promises 
to provide more functional information. But both PET and MR can also provide this 
information. MEG shows promise but it is unclear what its role will be. Bill Orison, a 
neuroradiolgist who is I believe chairman of Radiology at U of New Mexico is one of 
the pioneers in this in this technology
