Description
- Abstract
- Magnetoencephalography (MEG) has established itself as an indispensable tool for functional brain imaging, offering unparalleled spatial and temporal resolution while being non-invasive. Despite its advantages, current MEG systems based on superconducting quantum interference devices (squids) are cost-prohibitive and lack adaptability, particularly for pediatric populations. This project focuses on the development of a wearable MEG system based on optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) technology, a novel alternative to traditional squid magnetometers. This innovation eliminates the need for cryogenic cooling, thereby overcoming significant limitations associated with traditional MEG systems. Using opms has enabled the development of a cost-effective, flexible, and high-resolution MEG system (OPM-MEG). Our technology aims to match the spatial resolution of invasive techniques such as electrocorticography (ecog), while maintaining the non-invasive nature of traditional MEG. Additionally, IT features a flexible helmet, accommodating individuals of all ages and allowing for head movement during scanning-an important advancement in neuroimaging technologies. Building on our successful phase IIB project, where we developed and deployed prototype high-density OPM-MEG systems in leading neuroscience laboratories, the current project aims to finalize the essential steps for the commercialization of this groundbreaking technology.
