Richard Bowtell is one of the authors of the recent Nature-paper on non-cryogenic (room-temperature) MEG entitled:
Moving magnetoencephalography towards real-world applications with a wearable system.
Richard Bowtell will visit CFIN and give a talk on his research under the same title:
Richard Bowtell
Moving magnetoencephalography towards real-world applications with a wearable system
Abstract
Imaging human brain function with techniques such as magnetoencephalography (MEG) typically requires a subject to perform tasks while their head remains still within a restrictive scanner. This artificial environment makes the technique inaccessible to many people, and limits the experimental questions that can be addressed. In a Wellcome-funded collaboration between the University of Nottingham and UCL, we have developed magnetoencephalography system that can be worn like a helmet, allowing free and natural movement during scanning. This is made possible by the integration of quantum sensors, which do not rely on superconducting technology, with a system for nulling background magnetic fields. This system has been used to make MEG measurements while subjects make natural movements, including head nodding, stretching, drinking and playing a ball game.
----------
The talk should be relevant and interesting for everyone at CFIN and MIB, so we hope you’ll come to hear about the latest rave in the MEG-world from one of the people driving the development.
ALL ARE WELCOME.
