Post-stimulus beta responses are modulated by task duration (2019)
Journal Article
Pakenham, D. O., Quinn, A. J., Fry, A., Francis, S. T., Woolrich, M. W., Brookes, M. J., & Mullinger, K. J. (2020). Post-stimulus beta responses are modulated by task duration. NeuroImage, 206, Article 116288. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2019.116288

Modulation of beta-band neural oscillations during and following movement is a robust marker of brain function. In particular, the post-movement beta rebound (PMBR), which occurs on movement cessation, has been related to inhibition and connectivity...

Balanced, bi-planar magnetic field and field gradient coils for field compensation in wearable magnetoencephalography (2019)
Journal Article
Holmes, N., Tierney, T. M., Leggett, J., Boto, E., Mellor, S., Roberts, G., Hill, R. M., Shah, V., Barnes, G. R., Brookes, M. J., & Bowtell, R. (2019). Balanced, bi-planar magnetic field and field gradient coils for field compensation in wearable magnetoencephalography. Scientific Reports, 9, Article 14196. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-50697-w

To allow wearable magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings to be made on unconstrained subjects the spatially inhomogeneous remnant magnetic field inside the magnetically shielded room (MSR) must be nulled. Previously, a large bi-planar coil system wh... Read More about Balanced, bi-planar magnetic field and field gradient coils for field compensation in wearable magnetoencephalography.

Two spatially distinct posterior alpha sources fulfill different functional roles in attention (2019)
Journal Article
Sokoliuk, R., Mayhew, S., Aquino, K., Wilson, R., Brookes, M., Francis, S., Hanslmayr, S., & Mullinger, K. (2019). Two spatially distinct posterior alpha sources fulfill different functional roles in attention. Journal of Neuroscience, 39(36), 7183-7194. https://doi.org/10.1523/jneurosci.1993-18.2019

Directing attention helps extracting relevant information and suppressing distracters. Alpha brain oscillations (8-12Hz) are crucial for this process, with power decreases facilitating processing of important information and power increases inhibitin...

Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPMs) have emerged as a viable and wearable alternative to cryogenic, superconducting MEG systems. This new generation of sensors has the advantage of not requiring cryogenic cooling and as a result can be flexibly pla...
