Whole-head optically-pumped room-temperature magnetoencephalography

该项目旨在建立南半球第一个全头部室温脑磁图（OP-MEG）成像设施。这将为澳大利亚的人类大脑成像社区带来新的能力：1)更生态有效的实验，参与者可以自由移动；2)从涉及关键大脑功能（如学习和记忆）的大脑深层区域获得前所未有的非侵入性记录的时空分辨率。该项目为澳大利亚已经非常优秀的人类大脑成像能力提供了新的成像方法，跨越了神经科学、生物工程、物理学和心理学的跨学科研究项目。

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.
