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.

A biophysical model of dynamic balancing of excitation and inhibition in fast oscillatory large-scale networks (2018)
Journal Article
Abeysuriya, R. G., Hadida, J., Sotiropoulos, S. N., Jbabdi, S., Becker, R., Hunt, B. A., Brookes, M. J., & Woolrich, M. W. (in press). A biophysical model of dynamic balancing of excitation and inhibition in fast oscillatory large-scale networks. PLoS Computational Biology, 14(2), Article e1006007. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006007

Over long timescales, neuronal dynamics can be robust to quite large perturbations, such as changes in white matter connectivity and grey matter structure through processes including learning, aging, development and certain disease processes. One pos... Read More about A biophysical model of dynamic balancing of excitation and inhibition in fast oscillatory large-scale networks.
