Zusammenfassung	Spike sorting is an electrophysiological technique for identifying and isolating action potentials of individual neurons from extracellular electrical recordings. Central to single-unit neurophysiology, spike sorting assigns spikes recorded on electrode arrays to their neuron of origin, enabling study of individual neuron firing patterns, timing, and network interactions with single-cell resolution.	Magnetoencephalography (MEG) source localization is the inverse problem of estimating where in the brain neural currents originate from magnetic field measurements at the scalp. Introduced by David Cohen in 1972, MEG offers superior temporal resolution (milliseconds) and spatial specificity compared to EEG, as magnetic fields are less distorted by tissue conductivity, enabling researchers to pinpoint neural activity with high precision.
