For their study, the UKE working group has developed novel methods to analyze temporally and spatially high-resolution measurements of brain activity using the so-called magnetoencephalography (MEG). For the first time, the researchers succeeded in mapping the time course of the decision-making process over almost 200 regions of the human cerebral cortex.

Imaging techniques: Decision-making processes widely distributed over human brain Featured
Scientists at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) have discovered that even in the case of simple decisions a large number of regions communicate with each other that are widely distributed over the human brain.
