The present study concerns the simulation, in two dimensions, by the finite element method, of the behaviour of the magnetic field created by sources of equivalent neuronal currents by considering a simplified model of a diagnostic device used in MEG (Magnetoencephalography). The simplified geometric model is composed of the head, the magnetic field sensors and the sources of equivalent currents representing the neurons. The geometric model of the head is represented by 3 layers which are brain, bone and skin. The sensors placed above the part of the skin make it possible to calculate the electric voltage induced by the magnetic field resulting from the sources of equivalent currents produced by the neurons. Neurons are represented by equidistant point current sourcesThe Maxwell-multi physics software has been used.
