An MEG-EEG model-based approach to study traveling waves

Studying the propagation of brain oscillations across the cortex is challenging with non-invasive methods. To overcome this, we developed a novel approach that integrates brain imaging techniques with computational modeling. We simulated traveling waves of neural activity in the primary visual cortex and predicted their signatures in magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography recordings. By using carefully designed visual stimuli that evoke traveling waves in visual areas, we provided a proof-of-concept demonstrating the model's validity. Grabot et al. 2025
