Journal Article
Rier, L., Rhodes, N., Pakenham, D. O., Boto, E., Holmes, N., Hill, R. M., Reina Rivero, G., Shah, V., Doyle, C., Osborne, J., Bowtell, R. W., Taylor, M., & Brookes, M. J. (2024). Tracking the neurodevelopmental trajectory of beta band oscillations with optically pumped magnetometer-based magnetoencephalography. eLife, 13, Article RP94561. https://doi.org/10.7554/elife.94561.3

Neural oscillations mediate the coordination of activity within and between brain networks, supporting cognition and behaviour. How these processes develop throughout childhood is not only an important neuroscientific question but could also shed lig...

GalvAnalyze: Streamlining Data Analysis of Galvanostatic Battery Cycling (2023)
Journal Article
McNulty, R. C., & Rier, L. (in press). GalvAnalyze: Streamlining Data Analysis of Galvanostatic Battery Cycling. Batteries & Supercaps, https://doi.org/10.1002/batt.202300038

We present GalvAnalyze, a software tool developed in Python, that processes data collected using a variety of battery cyclers and creates a set of outputs that greatly reduce the inefficiencies associated with manual or semi-manual analysis of galvan...

Measurement of Frontal Midline Theta Oscillations using OPM-MEG (2023)
Journal Article
Rhodes, N., Rea, M., Boto, E., Rier, L., Shah, V., Hill, R. M., Osborne, J., Doyle, C., Holmes, N., Coleman, S. C., Mullinger, K., Bowtell, R., & Brookes, M. J. (2023). Measurement of Frontal Midline Theta Oscillations using OPM-MEG. NeuroImage, 271, Article 120024. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2023.120024

Optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) are an emerging lightweight and compact sensor that can measure magnetic fields generated by the human brain. OPMs enable construction of wearable magnetoencephalography (MEG) systems, which offer advantages over... Read More about Measurement of Frontal Midline Theta Oscillations using OPM-MEG.

Mapping Interictal activity in epilepsy using a hidden Markov model: A magnetoencephalography study (2022)
Journal Article
Seedat, Z. A., Rier, L., Gascoyne, L. E., Cook, H., Woolrich, M. W., Quinn, A. J., Roberts, T. P. L., Furlong, P. L., Armstrong, C., St. Pier, K., Mullinger, K. J., Marsh, E. D., Brookes, M. J., & Gaetz, W. (2022). Mapping Interictal activity in epilepsy using a hidden Markov model: A magnetoencephalography study. Human Brain Mapping, https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.26118

Epilepsy is a highly heterogeneous neurological disorder with variable etiology, manifestation, and response to treatment. It is imperative that new models of epileptiform brain activity account for this variability, to identify individual needs and...
