Magnetic resonance in the context of psychology typically refers to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), which are non-invasive imaging techniques used to study the brain's structure and function. These tools are essential for understanding the neural mechanisms underlying various psychological processes and disorders.

- Magnetoencephalogram (MEG) : Magnetoencephalogram (MEG is the magnetic equivalent of the Electroencephalogram in which a three-dimensional magnetic field of the brain can then be calculated. Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) detects the small magnetic fields in the brain that are a marker of neural activity. A disadvantage of MEG is related to that it is expensive and not readily available for clinical applications.

Magnetoencephalograph (MEG) refers to the device that measures the faint magnetic fields generated by the brain’s activity

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) refers to an imaging technique that measures the magnetic fields generated by electrical activity in the brain by highly sensitive measuring devices

Magnification is defined as a cognitive distortion in which an imperfection is exaggerated into something greater than it is.
