That's awesome - It's always great to talk to someone involved in neuroscience. Yes, MEG is very similar to EEG but without the issue of signal distortion due to the scalp, since magnetic fields aren't affected by it. Because of this ERPs are one of the primary focal points of MEG research, along with oscillatory neural activity which you also find in EEG research.

I'll keep your offer in mind, but it seems like we've got a pretty full team right now and as a result everything is under control. Our focus is the localization and lateralization of language and memory areas in presurgical epilepsy patients. The task I'm developing is designed to elicit (typically) right hippocampal activation using allocentric spatial navigation techniques... Later it will be integrated with another task I've developed which is a simple memory game intended to elicit activation related to verbal working memory. When the two are eventually combined we should have a single paradigm for localization of working memory for both language and spatial skills.

The study also incorporates MEG alongside EEG to localize epileptogenic regions that are the cause of the patients' epilepsy symptoms. Our goal is to use a combination of MEG, EEG and fMRI to produce a functional laterality index with higher sensitivity and specificity than either MEG or fMRI alone. And of course I'm excited to be incorporating video games into research, because they're a passion of mine wink
