Technique - (34) MEG/EEG source reconstruction and functional connectivity analysis

Type: Computational

Description:

Department(s)/lab(s): Institute for Human Neuroscience | Cognitive and Sensory Imaging Lab @ BoysTown
Summary:

Heinrichs-Graham studies the neural dynamics linking sensation, perception and cognition across development, including motor control and hearing loss, using MEG and OPM-MEG. 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): Sandia National Laboratories | Sandia OPM-MEG @ Sandia
Summary:

Iivanainen develops OPM-MEG instrumentation and analysis - sensor arrays, on-scalp sampling, and source modelling (previously at Aalto). 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 Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering | Ilmoniemi group @ Aalto
Summary:

Ilmoniemi is a founder of modern MEG and TMS-EEG; he develops MEG/OPM-MEG methods, minimum-norm source estimation and multi-locus TMS 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): Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences | Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity / Translational Cognitive Neuroscience @ Oxford
Summary:

Jensen uses MEG/OPM-MEG to study the functional role of neuronal oscillations in attention, working memory and predictive processing, and builds OPM-MEG capability at Oxford (previously founding co-director of Birmingham's CHBH). 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): Institute for Human Neuroscience | Physiology of Walking and Engineering Rehabilitation Lab @ BoysTown
Summary:

Kurz studies the neurophysiology of movement and gait, especially in cerebral palsy, combining MEG/OPM-MEG with biomechanics to guide rehabilitation. 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 Clinical Neuroscience / NatMEG | NatMEG @ Karolinska
Summary:

Lundqvist directs Sweden's national MEG facility (NatMEG), running SQUID- and OPM-MEG for cognitive and clinical neuroscience and OPM method development. 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): School of Physics and Astronomy / Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre | SPMIC (Mullinger group) @ Nottingham
Summary:

Mullinger develops multimodal neuroimaging (simultaneous EEG-fMRI, MEG, OPM-MEG) to study neurovascular coupling, post-stimulus responses and negative BOLD, bridging electrophysiology and haemodynamics. 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 Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology | UCL OPM-MEG (Dept. of Imaging Neuroscience) @ UCL
Summary:

O'Neill develops OPM-MEG analysis (movement-related interference rejection, dynamic connectivity) and naturalistic-movement paradigms such as wearable MEG during stepping. 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 Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering | MEG methods group @ Aalto
Summary:

Parkkonen develops OPM-MEG instrumentation, on-scalp sensor arrays and MEG analysis methods at Aalto, the birthplace of whole-head MEG. 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.
