Variance in cortical depth across the brain surface: Implications for transcranial stimulation of the brain

Nick J. Davis

Summary: The depth of cortical areas varies significantly between individuals, even when taking sulcal depth into account. This may result in poor reliability when setting TMS dosage based on visual or evoked potentials. Individual brain images should be used when targeting non-primary brain areas.

Mouth magnetoencephalography: A unique perspective on the human hippocampus

Tim M. Tierney et al.

Summary: Traditional MEG brain imaging scanners are highly sensitive to superficial brain structures due to their rigid sensor array design. However, new technology using optical pumping allows for more flexible sensor placement. The study explored magnetic fields generated by a human hippocampus model across the scalp and the roof of the mouth, finding that a mouth sensor showed promising results in detecting hippocampal activity.

Precision magnetic field modelling and control for wearable magnetoencephalography

Molly Rea et al.

Summary: This study introduces the potential of optically-pumped magnetometers (OPMs) in magnetoencephalography (MEG) experiments and emphasizes the importance of controlling background magnetic fields. The authors propose a magnetic field mapping technique that accurately reconstructs field magnitude and compensates for it through an electromagnetic coil system, significantly reducing low-frequency interference. This technology can improve data quality in experiments, especially those measuring low-frequency oscillations or encouraging head movement.

Theoretical advantages of a triaxial optically pumped magnetometer magnetoencephalography system

Matthew J. Brookes et al.

Summary: The optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) is an effective method for detecting magnetic fields generated by human brain activity, offering advantages of size, weight, and flexibility compared to traditional detectors. Optimized triaxial MEG array design can significantly improve the ability to differentiate real brain activity from magnetic interference sources.

Measuring functional connectivity with wearable MEG

Elena Boto et al.

Summary: Optically-pumped magnetometers (OPMs) have the potential to improve data quality and wearability in magnetoencephalography (MEG), with results showing high similarity to state-of-the-art cryogenic MEG systems. This indicates the potential for OPMs to ultimately replace traditional sensors for MEG measurements.
