Valerie Carr, chief technologist for MEG, demonstrates the new imaging system as Seppo Ahlfors, technical director of MEG, looks on. Using scientific approaches pioneered by Martinos Center researchers, the combined MEG and MRI data from new facilities at the center will produce "movies" of the brain at work.

In the latest in a series of findings on highly specific brain functions by Nancy Kanwisher, professor of brain and cognitive sciences at MIT, researchers have identified the extrastriate body area (EBA) in the brain. The EBA responds strongly to pictures of body parts such as those pictured on the left, and does not respond strongly to similarly shaped images such as those on the right.
