Summary The neuromagnetic method has been providing impressive results in the understanding of the functions and of some pathologies of the human brain. The possibility of achieving three-dimensional source localization represents a fundamental step forward in the study of the organization of cortical areas, in that of focal disorders and, in general, in the investigation of brain information processing. The development of large multichannel systems to achieve real time functional localization is being carried on in several countries and the first prototypes are already operating for a full assessment of the benefits of the technique. The use of time-varying magnetic pulses provides the opportunity for non-invasive stimulation of the central nervous system toward the achievement of functional imaging of the motor cortices.
