Proud to see our system featured in ITV news. It’s at the heart of a new project at @spmic-uon.bsky.social, detecting microscopic brain damage caused by repeated low-level blast exposure. Vital work for better understanding & treating hidden injuries in veterans. #OPMMEG

On Tuesday we paid a visit to No 10 Downing Street to showcase the latest brain imaging technology as part of London Tech Week. It was great to find out more about other innovators at the cutting edge, even if our AI-steak-cooking-neighbours stole our thunder... A long morning but a tasty afternoon!

Wonderful to see the first paper from our friends in Zurich, who used their Cerca system to measure MMN responses from auditory cortex. This paper shows that #OPMMEG is ready to go straight out of the box with published results within a few months. #neuroskyence doi.org/10.1101/2024...
Test-retest reliability of auditory MMN measured with OPM-MEG
In this paper, we report results from an investigation of auditory mismatch responses as measured by magnetoencephalography (MEG) based on optically pumped magnetometers (OPM). Specifically, as part o...
