Interesting answer (+1).  I am going to have to do some reading on this subject.

I think I've created a MEG tag, but as @ArtemKaznatcheev found, there are broader tags to use for your question. I found 8 questions involving MEG, but mostly through the answers. Yours is one of the first few questions that pertains directly to MEG.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-01-01)

* Can [tinnitus](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinnitus) be measured with EEG or MEG (magnetoencephalography)?
* Is it visible in a power spectrum?
* In an ERP/ERF?

**Tags:** neuroscience, perception, clinical-psychology, neuroimaging, eeg
