almost always these factors are not known, therefore polarity usually does not allow for strong conclusions about the nature of neurotransmission

MEG
-
advantages
magnetic currents pass through scalp and skull relatively undistorted, whereas electrical current is changed and therefore provides a much more distorted signal
-
only measures signals from specific neurons (tangentially oriented dipoles) - specificity of the source of the MEG signal combined with EEG (which pick up signals from radially oriented dipoles more readily) could be (is already?) a powerful apporach
combination with other techniques, MRI, fMRI; PET - to make use of high temporal resolution (MEG) + high spatial resolution
drawbacks
-
MEG requires a room that is magnetically shielded from all external magnetic fields in order to detect relatively weak magnetic signals from the brain
-
same temporal resolution as EEG, but more reliable localization of the signal - modelling techniques for MEG data are more accurate than for EEG data
