Boto develops and validates wearable OPM-MEG systems and demonstrated the first motion-tolerant whole-head recordings; her work spans sensor arrays, field control and neuroscience applications. 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.

Brookes co-invented and leads development of whole-head wearable OPM-MEG, using arrays of zero-field SERF optically pumped magnetometers placed directly on the scalp to image neuromagnetic fields with higher sensitivity, better spatial resolution and lifespan compliance than SQUID-MEG. His group develops the hardware, field-nulling, and analysis methods and applies them to epilepsy, schizophrenia, concussion and developmental neuroscience. 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.

Hill builds and validates lifespan-compliant multi-channel OPM-MEG systems (helmet design, sensor geometry/gain calibration) and cross-site comparisons of commercial OPM arrays. 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.

Kowalczyk develops and applies OPM-MEG at Birmingham's CHBH, including paediatric and naturalistic-paradigm neuroimaging. 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.
