'First of its kind' scanner to study blast trauma in soldiers
It will be able to monitor changes in brain function just minutes after weapon use, scientists say.
Our scan-in-a-van will be hitting the road next year🚚Buzzing to see it featured in the BBC piece! 🧠🤓
And maybe one day, in the not-too-distant future, you’ll spot it outside a hospital or a stadium - giving rapid scans to patients.

How ‘neural fingerprinting’ could analyse our minds
New brain-scanning technology is both tantalising and disturbing
Thrilled to be featured in the Financial Times 🎉
The huge buzz around Zoe’s neural fingerprinting paper has been incredible!

Our new MuRoom is live in Padova! 🧠
Padova is renowned for its rich history and architecture and now it’s also home to one of the most advanced environments for next-generation brain imaging.
More updates to come as the system takes shape!

Proud to see our system featured in ITV news. It’s at the heart of a new project at @spmic-uon.bsky.social, detecting microscopic brain damage caused by repeated low-level blast exposure. Vital work for better understanding & treating hidden injuries in veterans. #OPMMEG

On Tuesday we paid a visit to No 10 Downing Street to showcase the latest brain imaging technology as part of London Tech Week. It was great to find out more about other innovators at the cutting edge, even if our AI-steak-cooking-neighbours stole our thunder... A long morning but a tasty afternoon!

Test-retest reliability of auditory MMN measured with OPM-MEG
In this paper, we report results from an investigation of auditory mismatch responses as measured by magnetoencephalography (MEG) based on optically pumped magnetometers (OPM). Specifically, as part o...
Wonderful to see the first paper from our friends in Zurich, who used their Cerca system to measure MMN responses from auditory cortex. This paper shows that #OPMMEG is ready to go straight out of the box with published results within a few months. #neuroskyence doi.org/10.1101/2024...
