Journal Article
Mellor, S., Tierney, T. M., O'Neill, G. C., Alexander, N., Seymour, R. A., Holmes, N., …Barnes, G. R. (2022). Magnetic Field Mapping and Correction for Moving OP-MEG. IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 69(2), 528-536. https://doi.org/10.1109/TBME.2021.3100770

Background: Optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) have made moving, wearable magnetoencephalography (MEG) possible. The OPMs typically used for MEG require a low background magnetic field to operate, which is achieved using both passive and active ma...

Multi-channel whole-head OPM-MEG: Helmet design and a comparison with a conventional system (2020)
Journal Article
Hill, R. M., Boto, E., Rea, M., Holmes, N., Leggett, J., Coles, L. A., …Brookes, M. J. (2020). Multi-channel whole-head OPM-MEG: Helmet design and a comparison with a conventional system. NeuroImage, 219, Article 116995. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2020.116995

© 2020 The Authors Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a powerful technique for functional neuroimaging, offering a non-invasive window on brain electrophysiology. MEG systems have traditionally been based on cryogenic sensors which detect the small extr...

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., …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.

Optically pumped magnetometers: From quantum origins to multi-channel magnetoencephalography (2019)
Journal Article
Tierney, T. M., Holmes, N., Mellor, S., López, J. D., Roberts, G., Hill, R. M., …Barnes, G. R. (2019). Optically pumped magnetometers: From quantum origins to multi-channel magnetoencephalography. NeuroImage, 199, 598-608. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2019.05.063

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...
