“…Here we argue that for a wide variety of neuroscience applications maximising information content or spatial discrimination, although desirable, is not necessary. For instance, in paediatric epilepsy surgery, a crucial clinical application of MEG (De Tiège et al, 2012;Doss, Zhang, Risse, & Dickens, 2009;Englot et al, 2015;Rosenow & Lüders, 2001;Schneider et al, 2013;Sutherling, Mamelak, Thyerlei, & Maleeva, 2008) a large percentage of brain volume (~5-10%, equivalent to a 2-3cm radius sphere) may be resected (Centeno et al, 2017). The clinical question does not require the spatial discrimination between sources at a millimetre scale.…”
