  3. Synchronous Neural InteractionsSynchronous Neural Interactions (SNI)Zero-lag partial correlations in pairs of MEG time series and denote the strength and polarity (positive or negative) of neuronal interactions. Anomalies in SNIs as assessed by MEG differentiate psychiatric disorders from healthy brain functioning and can discriminate among various brain diseases. From this research, a highly distinctive, unique PTSD SNI signature characterized by miscommunication of temporal and parietal and/or parieto-occipital right hemispheric areas with other brain areas has emerged. These findings, in addition to the growing research applying MEG to other psychiatric disorders, highlight the utility of MEG in identifying biomarkers of disease and underscore the potential for broader clinical applications of MEG. assessed by magnetoencephalography: a functional biomarker for brain disorders Journal of Neural Engineering (2007, August) Georgopoulos AP, Karageorgiou E, Leuthold A, Lewis S, Lynch J, Alonso A, Aslam Z, Carpenter A, Georgopoulos A, Hemmy LS, Koutlas I, Langheim F, McCarten JR, McPherson SE, Pardo J, Pardo P, Parry GJ, Rottunda SJ, Segal BM, Sponheim S, Stanwyck JJ, Stephane M, & Westermeyer JJ
