Summary:

Stephen uses MEG and OPM-MEG to study multisensory integration and brain development from infancy, including fetal/infant biomagnetism and clinical/developmental populations. 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:

Wakai pioneers fetal magnetocardiography and magnetoencephalography, developing SERF-OPM and SQUID biomagnetometry to record fetal and neonatal heart and brain signals for clinical assessment. 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.
