A tool for functional brain imaging with lifespan compliance (2019)
Journal Article
Hill, R. M., Boto, E., Holmes, N., Hartley, C., Seedat, Z. A., Leggett, J., …Brookes, M. J. (2019). A tool for functional brain imaging with lifespan compliance. Nature Communications, 10, Article 4785. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-12486-x

The human brain undergoes significant functional and structural changes in the first decades of life, as the foundations for human cognition are laid down. However, non-invasive imaging techniques to investigate brain function throughout neurodevelop... Read More about A tool for functional brain imaging with lifespan compliance.

Cognitive neuroscience using wearable magnetometer arrays: Non-invasive assessment of language function (2018)
Journal Article
Tierney, T. M., Holmes, N., Meyer, S. S., Boto, E., Roberts, G., Leggett, J., …Barnes, G. R. (2018). Cognitive neuroscience using wearable magnetometer arrays: Non-invasive assessment of language function. NeuroImage, 181, 513-520. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2018.07.035

Recent work has demonstrated that Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPMs) can be utilised to create a wearable Magnetoencephalography (MEG) system that is motion robust. In this study, we use this system to map eloquent cortex using a clinically valida...

A bi-planar coil system for nulling background magnetic fields in scalp mounted magnetoencephalography (2018)
Journal Article
Holmes, N., Leggett, J., Boto, E., Roberts, G., Hill, R. M., Tierney, T. M., …Bowtell, R. (2018). A bi-planar coil system for nulling background magnetic fields in scalp mounted magnetoencephalography. NeuroImage, 181, 760-774. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2018.07.028

Small, commercially-available Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPMs) can be used to construct a wearable Magnetoencephalography (MEG) system that allows large head movements to be made during recording. The small dynamic range of these sensors however... Read More about A bi-planar coil system for nulling background magnetic fields in scalp mounted magnetoencephalography.

Moving magnetoencephalography towards real-world applications with a wearable system (2018)
Journal Article
Boto, E., Holmes, N., Leggett, J., Roberts, G., Shah, V., Meyer, S. S., …Brookes, M. J. (2018). Moving magnetoencephalography towards real-world applications with a wearable system. Nature, 555, 657-661. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature26147

Imaging human brain function with techniques such as magnetoencephalography1 (MEG) typically requires a subject to perform tasks whilst their head remains still within a restrictive scanner. This artificial environment makes the technique inaccessibl... Read More about Moving magnetoencephalography towards real-world applications with a wearable system.
