Optimised hybrid shielding and magnetic field control for emerging quantum technologies (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hobson, P. J., Packer, M., Holmes, N., Davis, A., Patel, P., Holmes, D., Harrison, R., Chalmers, J., Styles, B., Woolger, D., Sims, D., Brookes, M. J., & Fromhold, T. M. (2021, September). Optimised hybrid shielding and magnetic field control for emerging quantum technologies. Presented at SPIE PHOTONEX, Glasgow, United Kingdom

The accurate control of magnetic fields is a cornerstone of multiple emerging quantum technologies. These technologies often require passive high permeability magnetic shielding and internal active field-generating coils to create their own bespoke m...

Journal Article
Wittevrongel, B., Holmes, N., Boto, E., Hill, R., Rea, M., Libert, A., Khachatryan, E., Van Hulle, M. M., Bowtell, R., & Brookes, M. J. (2021). Practical real-time MEG-based neural interfacing with optically pumped magnetometers. BMC Biology, 19(1), Article 158. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-021-01073-6

Background: Brain-computer interfaces decode intentions directly from the human brain with the aim to restore lost functionality, control external devices or augment daily experiences. To combine optimal performance with wide applicability, high-qual... Read More about Practical real-time MEG-based neural interfacing with optically pumped magnetometers.

Precision magnetic field modelling and control for wearable magnetoencephalography. NeuroImage, 241, Article 118401. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.118401

Optically-pumped magnetometers (OPMs) are highly sensitive, compact magnetic field sensors, which offer a viable alternative to cryogenic sensors (superconducting quantum interference devices – SQUIDs) for magnetoencephalography (MEG). With the promi... Read More about Precision magnetic field modelling and control for wearable magnetoencephalography.

Theoretical advantages of a triaxial optically pumped magnetometer magnetoencephalography system (2021)
Journal Article
Brookes, M. J., Boto, E., Rea, M., Shah, V., Osborne, J., Holmes, N., Hill, R. M., Leggett, J., Rhodes, N., & Bowtell, R. (2021). Theoretical advantages of a triaxial optically pumped magnetometer magnetoencephalography system. NeuroImage, 236, Article 118025. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.118025

The optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) is a viable means to detect magnetic fields generated by human brain activity. Compared to conventional detectors (superconducting quantum interference devices) OPMs are small, lightweight, flexible, and operat...
