This project aims to set up the first whole-head room-temperature Magnetoencephalography (OP-MEG) imaging facility in the southern hemisphere. This will introduce new capabilities to the Australian human brain imaging community by enabling 1) more ecologically-valid experimentation where participants can freely move, and 2) unprecedented spatio-temporal resolution of non-invasive recordings from deeper brain regions involved in critical brain functions such as learning and memory. This project adds to the already excellent existing capabilities in human brain imaging in Australia bringing novel imaging approaches across interdisciplinary research programs in neuroscience, bioengineering, physics and psychology.

该项目旨在建立南半球第一个全头部室温脑磁图（OP-MEG）成像设备。这将为澳大利亚人脑成像社区引入新的功能，实现1）更具生态有效性的实验，参与者可以自由移动，2）前所未有的时空分辨率的非侵入性记录，来自涉及学习和记忆等关键大脑功能的深层大脑区域。该项目增加了澳大利亚在人脑成像方面已经非常出色的现有能力，为神经科学，生物工程，物理学和心理学的跨学科研究项目带来了新的成像方法。
