"An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that detects electrical activity in your brain using small, flat metal discs (electrodes) attached to your scalp. Your brain cells communicate via electrical impulses and are active all the time" ("EEG"). "Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a non-invasive neurophysiological technique that measures the magnetic fields generated by neuronal activity of the brain. The spatial distributions of the magnetic fields are analyzed to localize the sources of the activity within the brain, and the locations of the sources are superimposed on anatomical images, such as MRI, to provide information about both the structure and function of the brain" ("What Is MEG?"). With the data collected from these scans, the program can decode the vision to determine what the test subject saw. To access the program and code, a computer and MATLAB will be needed. The original and basis of the code came from "Mind Reading with Regularized Multinomial Logistic Regression," written by Huttunen, Manninen, Kaupi, and Tohka. The goal was to edit and improve the accuracy of this code.
