Magnetic field-induced vertigo in the MRI environment (2015)
Journal Article
Glover, P. (2015). Magnetic field-induced vertigo in the MRI environment. Current Radiology Reports, 3(8), Article 29. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40134-015-0112-1

This review discusses the theory behind, and the experimental evidence for, the perception of vertigo in a high magnetic field found in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment. Recent experiments have shown that there is an eye nystagmus respo... Read More about Magnetic field-induced vertigo in the MRI environment.

A dynamic model of the eye nystagmus response to high magnetic fields (2014)
Journal Article
Glover, P. M., Li, Y., Antunes, A., Mian, O. S., & Day, B. L. (2014). A dynamic model of the eye nystagmus response to high magnetic fields. Physics in Medicine and Biology, 59(3), https://doi.org/10.1088/0031-9155/59/3/631

It was recently shown that high magnetic fields evoke nystagmus in human subjects with functioning vestibular systems. The proposed mechanism involves interaction between ionic currents in the endolymph of the vestibular labyrinth and the static magn...

Reference layer artefact subtraction (RLAS): A novel method of minimizing EEG artefacts during simultaneous fMRI (2013)
Journal Article
Chowdhury, M. E., Mullinger, K. J., Glover, P., & Bowtell, R. W. (2014). Reference layer artefact subtraction (RLAS): A novel method of minimizing EEG artefacts during simultaneous fMRI. NeuroImage, 84, 307-319. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2013.08.039

Large artefacts compromise EEG data quality during simultaneous fMRI. These artefact voltages pose heavy demands on the bandwidth and dynamic range of EEG amplifiers and mean that even small fractional variations in the artefact voltages give rise to...

A novel receive-only liquid nitrogen (LN2)-cooled RF coil for high-resolution in vivo imaging on a 3-Tesla whole-body scanner (2012)
Journal Article
Hu, B., Varma, G., Randell, C., Keevil, S. F., Schaeffter, T., & Glover, P. (2012). A novel receive-only liquid nitrogen (LN2)-cooled RF coil for high-resolution in vivo imaging on a 3-Tesla whole-body scanner. IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 61(1), https://doi.org/10.1109/TIM.2011.2157575

The design and operation of a receive-only liquid nitrogen (LN2)-cooled coil and cryostat suitable for medical imaging on a 3-T whole-body magnetic resonance scanner is presented. The coil size, optimized for murine imaging, was determined by using...

Magnetic field effects on the vestibular system: calculation of the pressure on the cupula due to ionic current-induced Lorentz force (2012)
Journal Article
Antunes, A., Glover, P., Li, Y., Mian, O., & Day, B. (2012). Magnetic field effects on the vestibular system: calculation of the pressure on the cupula due to ionic current-induced Lorentz force. Physics in Medicine and Biology, 57(14), https://doi.org/10.1088/0031-9155/57/14/4477

Large static magnetic fields may be employed in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). At high magnetic field strengths (usually from about 3 tesla and above) it is possible for humans to perceive a number of effects. One such effect is mild vertigo. Rece...

Interaction of MRI field gradients with the human body (2009)
Journal Article
Glover, P. (2009). Interaction of MRI field gradients with the human body. Physics in Medicine and Biology, 54(21), Article R99-R115. https://doi.org/10.1088/0031-9155/54/21/R01

In this review, the effects of low-frequency electromagnetic fields encountered specifically during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are examined. The primary biological effect at frequencies of between 100 and 5000 Hz (typical of MRI magnetic field... Read More about Interaction of MRI field gradients with the human body.
