A method and an apparatus are disclosed for imaging functional processes
in the brain. In order to be able to correlate the results of MEG
examinations with anatomical information and metabolic data, a positron
emission tomography measurement is recorded in at least one embodiment by
at least one radiation detector, a magnetic resonance imaging measurement
is recorded by a coil and a radio-frequency antenna device and a
magnetoencephalography measurement is recorded by a plurality of magnetic
field sensors, the positron emission tomography measurement and the
magnetic resonance imaging measurement being substantially undertaken at
the same time, so that the records of the positron emission tomography
measurement and the magnetic resonance tomography measurement are
isocentric. In at least one embodiment, an evaluation apparatus is
provided for carrying out a spatial correlation between the
magnetoencephalography measurement and the magnetic resonance imaging
measurement, so that registration between the magnetoencephalography
measurement and the positron emission tomography measurement results.
