Extremely pleased to finally see this out in Imaging Neuroscience! We show that OPM-MEG with whole-head coverage can reliably reconstruct spectral power and functional connectivity. Great collaboration between Princeton Neuroscience Institute and SPMIC MEG at UoN!

#OnThisDay 1978: Tomorrow's World gave audiences a true world first as Dr Peter Mansfield of the University of Nottingham demonstrated the first full body prototype device for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), allowing us to see inside the human body without the use of X-rays.

Cerca Magnetics are very proud to announce that we have been named as one of Bloomberg UK 's 25 Startups To Watch In The UK at the 2023 Bloomberg Technology Summit! #BloombergTech #Bloomberg Bloomberg #Quantum #OPMMEG

Christmas has come early - 3 new roles in the OPM lab at UCL @WCHN_UCL. Help to transform OPMs into a force for naturalistic neuroscience 🧠. Exciting times ahead! #pleaseRT 1. ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se… 2. ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se… 3. ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

Huge congratulations to Prof Matthew Brookes UoN Physics & Astronomy and Honorary Prof Dr Simon Grant UoN Chemistry who have been recognised in the King's New Year Honours 2024. Find out more here ➡️: ow.ly/ui1A50Qmxv2 #WeAreUoN #NYHonours #NewYearHonours Nottingham Research

Very well deserved, it is a privilege to work alongside Matt and the team! A bright future ahead 🥳Matthew Brookes MEG at UoN SPMIC UoN Physics & Astronomy Cerca Magnetics Limited

Thrilled to see the impact of our £45m quantum investment at Cerca Magnetics Limited! Their cutting-edge work on a functional brain scanner is a beacon of hope for those battling neurological diseases. A glimpse into the future of healthcare innovation 🏥 🥼

A new preprint on bioRxiv by the fabulous Holly Schofield exploring a new platform for OPM-MEG data acquisition. Vishal Shah SPMIC MEG at UoN UoN Physics & Astronomy Cerca Magnetics Limited biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Extremely honoured to receive an OBE this week from HRH The Princess Royal. Massive thanks to all my colleagues and collaborators, especially everyone at SPMIC UoN Physics & Astronomy Cerca Magnetics Limited and Vishal Shah To everyone in MEG at UoN, past & present, this should be yours, not mine!

.Prof. Tom Crick from Department for Culture, Media and Sport visited SPMIC today to find out how wearable MEG technology is being used in research looking into how concussion affects the brain UoN Physics & Astronomy Matthew Brookes MEG at UoN

On behalf of the spectacular Mark Woolrich WIN-OHBA at the University of Oxford is recruiting a new post-doc to develop machine learning methods for analysing data from MEG data, including from our new OPM-MEG scanner.   See here for more details: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

Our new paper is now out on Quantum Science & Technology! Magnetic gradiometers are the preferred sensor of MEG users, so we have built a truly intrinsic axial OPM gradiometer to match this need. It also happens to be my first first-author paper! Hope you enjoy! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

I am delighted to share that our article "Four-channel optically pumped magnetometer for a magnetoencephalography sensor array" has been published in Optics Express. We demonstrate second generation optically pumped magnetometer for MEG. #quantum #meg. doi.org/10.1364/OE.517…

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Zelekha A. Seedat, Matthew J. Brookes, et al: Simultaneous whole-head electrophysiological recordings using EEG and OPM-MEG doi.org/10.1162/imag_a…

Extremely happy to see this published in eLife, by the wonderful Lukas Rier and Natalie Rhodes !!! It shows the neurodevelopmental trajectory of beta 'oscillations' (and bursts!!), measured using OPM-MEG Vishal Shah Cerca Magnetics Limited SPMIC UoN Physics & Astronomy elifesciences.org/articles/94561

Fabulous to see the final shiny version of our paper out in eLife - the journal! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… Natalie Rhodes

Dr Lukas Rier joined Notts TV to talk about his recent research using wearable brain imaging to look at activity in young children's brains MEG at UoN SPMIC Cerca Magnetics Limited Watch from 13.20: nottstv.com/programme/nott…

Excited to share our new paper in IEEE-TBME! We used tSSS with OPMs to recover MEG signals in a lightly shielded room: cheaper shields will aid wider deployment of OPM-MEG technology. doi.org/10.1109/TBME.2… MEG at UoN I-LABS SPMIC UoN Physics & Astronomy Matthew Brookes

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
