The ISACM is a nonprofit organization incorporated in Philadelphia, PA, USA. The primary purpose of this organization is to advance clinical applications of magnetoencephalography (MEG), as accomplished through research, education, standardization of procedures, sharing of data and protocols, and the development of strategies for improving reimbursement for clinical examinations.
Our objectives include, but are not limited to:
