arxiv.org/abs/2410.08718 Our new preprint on calibration methods for OPM MEG is now online at arxiv! We use two methods to determine location, orientation, and gain of OPM sensors and assess the change in source reconstruction compared to using assumed geometries

Notably we see high similarity between our two calibration methods, localising sensor positions to within 2mm. Both methods also offer an increase in source space SNR

New paper in Sci. Rep: rdcu.be/cTj9I We built a lightweight magnetically shielded room for OPM-MEG at @youngepilepsy. Wall mounted coils gives a field of <1 nT at the centre of the room! @UoN_MEG @Mumetalshields @WCHN_UCL @MattBrookesMEG @molly_rea_ @CercaMagnetics

I love rugby, but this is heartbreaking. In MEG we know we have a scan thats sensitive, even to single concussive events. Why aren't @RFU funding research on how to exploit this to make the game safer? @vixter15 @brianmoore666 @IIHDrBirmingham @LukasRier bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/…

Over the summer I flew out to Toronto for @CercaMagnetics first installation. It was hugely successful and we managed to acquire some fantastic data! This preprint shows a comparison between the Toronto and Nottingham labs biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Using OPM-MEG in contrasting magnetic environments

Using OPM-MEG in contrasting magnetic environments

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) has been revolutionised in recent years by optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs). “OPM-MEG” offers higher sensitivity, better spatial resolution and lower cost than...

In this podcast we chat about a new quantum technology for scanning the brain @UniofNottingham and learn what it's like to do science kilometres down in the oceans @WHOI ow.ly/T7Qq50DDB6Q

Quantum-enabled scanner will boost our understanding of brain function, doing research 6.5 km under...

In this week’s podcast we also talk about the cold snap in Texas

Hola @ElInternado_LC Cool helmet on minute 1.06 of your trailer... we were wondering where you got the inspiration from, it seemed somehow familiar... @PrimeVideoES
