Triaxial detection of the neuromagnetic field using optically-pumped magnetometry: feasibility and application in children

Elena Boto et al.

Summary: Optically-pumped magnetometers (OPMs) are a viable alternative to superconducting sensors for magnetoencephalography (MEG), with advantages such as flexibility, uniform coverage, better data quality, and lower cost. This study introduces a novel triaxial OPM sensor that can accurately and sensitively measure magnetic fields, showing comparable performance to conventional OPMs. A child-friendly 3D-printed OPM-helmet is also proposed, demonstrating the feasibility of triaxial measurement in pediatric populations.

On-Scalp Optically Pumped Magnetometers versus Cryogenic Magnetoencephalography for Diagnostic Evaluation of Epilepsy in School-aged Children

Odile Feys et al.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of cryogenic and on-scalp MEG in detecting and localizing focal interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in children with epilepsy. The results showed that on-scalp MEG had higher IED amplitudes and signal-to-noise ratios compared to cryogenic MEG, and the localization value was similar between the two modalities.

Calibration and Localization of Optically Pumped Magnetometers Using Electromagnetic Coils

Joonas Iivanainen et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a method for calibrating and localizing magnetic field sensors using electromagnetic coils. The method is applied to optically pumped magnetometers in magnetoencephalography. By measuring the coil fields, modeling them, and minimizing the errors, the sensor parameters can be obtained. Experimental results confirm the feasibility of this method.

Simulation Study of Different OPM-MEG Measurement Components

Urban Marhl et al.

Summary: This study explored the effect of combining multiple directions of magnetic field on source localization and found that the field direction normal to the scalp has a higher signal-to-noise ratio and is less affected by ambient noise, making it the optimal choice for source localization when only one field direction can be measured. Additionally, combining multiple field directions greatly improves the source localization results when using a low number of OPMs. Furthermore, sensors closer to the brain are more suitable for localizing deeper sources.

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.

Measuring the cortical tracking of speech with optically-pumped magnetometers

Paul de Lange et al.

Summary: During continuous speech listening, the brain activity tracks the rhythmicity of speech at various frequencies, which can be effectively measured using wearable MEG with optically-pumped magnetometers (OPMs). Although measuring cortical tracking of speech (CTS) at frequencies below 4 Hz presents challenges, OPM-MEG shows promising results with improved spatial resolution and lifespan compliance. The study demonstrates that OPMs can be used for CTS assessment, offering new research opportunities to understand neural networks involved in speech tracking and potential alterations in language developmental disorders.
