Sensory thresholds obtained from MEG data: Cortical psychometric functions

► Accurate sensory thresholds were extracted from passively-recorded MEG data. ► Auditory gap-detection paradigm used to derive 'cortical psychometric functions' ► MEG thresholds correlate strongly and significantly with psychophysical data. ► MEG data provide additional insight into causes of poor behavioural performance. ► Has applications in studying atypical sensory sensitivity in clinical populations
