Department(s)/lab(s): LCFC, Hopital Erasme / ULB Neuroscience Institute | Laboratoire de Cartographie fonctionnelle du Cerveau (LCFC) @ ULB
Summary:

De Tiege heads ULB's functional brain mapping lab, running a leading clinical and methodological OPM-MEG program for epilepsy and cognitive neuroscience. The work complements NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) at pT/sqrt(Hz) sensitivity by pursuing the same field-sensing goals in a different physical platform.

Summary:

Feys applies OPM-MEG to multiple sclerosis and epilepsy, comparing OPM- and SQUID-MEG for clinical neurophysiology. The work complements NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) at pT/sqrt(Hz) sensitivity by pursuing the same field-sensing goals in a different physical platform.

Department(s)/lab(s): School of Medicine / CUBRIC | CUBRIC clinical MEG (epilepsy) @ Cardiff
Summary:

Hamandi is a clinical neurologist using MEG/OPM-MEG for epilepsy network mapping and presurgical evaluation. The work complements NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) at pT/sqrt(Hz) sensitivity by pursuing the same field-sensing goals in a different physical platform.

Department(s)/lab(s): Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research | OPM Magnetomyography / clinical OPM-MEG @ Tuebingen
Summary:

Marquetand pioneers OPM magnetomyography (measuring muscle magnetic fields) and applies clinical OPM-MEG to epilepsy and neuromuscular disease. This vapour-phase approach reaches femto-to-picotesla sensitivities complementary to NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensors (DEER, nano-NMR, T1 relaxometry) that operate near the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime.

Department(s)/lab(s): Department of Imaging Neuroscience (FIL) | UCL OPM-MEG (Dept. of Imaging Neuroscience) @ UCL
Summary:

Mellor works on magnetic-field mapping and movement-artefact correction for moving OP-MEG and on ictal/clinical OP-MEG recordings. The work complements NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) at pT/sqrt(Hz) sensitivity by pursuing the same field-sensing goals in a different physical platform.

Department(s)/lab(s): Department of Psychiatry and Neurosciences | Clinical Neurotechnology Lab @ Charite
Summary:

Soekadar develops OPM-based brain-computer interfaces and real-time OPM-MEG for neuropsychiatric assessment and assistive neurotechnology. The work complements NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) at pT/sqrt(Hz) sensitivity by pursuing the same field-sensing goals in a different physical platform.

Department(s)/lab(s): UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology | UCL OPM-MEG epilepsy @ UCL
Summary:

Vivekananda is a clinical neurologist applying OPM-MEG to epilepsy, including ictal OP-MEG recordings for seizure localisation and presurgical evaluation. The work complements NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) at pT/sqrt(Hz) sensitivity by pursuing the same field-sensing goals in a different physical platform.
