This study uses MEG to compare predictive brain function in younger and older children during an auditory oddball task, finding larger mismatch field amplitudes in older children, particularly in the right inferior frontal gyrus.

The paper uses MEG to compare mismatch field amplitudes between autistic and neurotypical children, finding no significant group differences but suggesting larger amplitudes in autistic children.

Once the aperiodic 1/f component is modelled, the childhood shift of MEG power toward higher frequencies no longer holds; only beta power rises with age, alongside a flatter spectrum.

The paper examines how functional brain networks become more segregated during childhood using magnetoencephalography and minimum spanning tree analysis.
