Our Mandate

The Canadian MEG Consortium (CMC) provides a common platform of expertise for basic and clinical research including clinical applications at MEG brain imaging centres across Canada. Our mission is to help Canadian MEG labs succeed by improving accessibility to this unique imaging resource and coordinating pan-Canadian efforts to increase the productivity of MEG research, the utility of MEG procedures and the training of MEG personnel.

Clinical MEG

State-of-the-art Safety and Practice guidelines.

Operations

Generating support to maintain operating costs of MEG centres across Canada.

Why MEG?

MEG is a state-of-the-art non-invasive functional brain imaging technology. It allows clinicians and researchers to track brain activity associated with movement disorders, cognitive impairments, epilepsy, and brain tumours. It is well-suited to investigate processes of functional connectivity in the brain and to elucidate the function of cerebral networks.
