Four-Channel Optically Pumped Magnetometer for MEG Sensor Arrays Background Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPMs) operating in the Spin-Exchange Relaxation-Free (SERF) regime are highly sensitive magnetic field sensors, with sensitivities as low as 0.16 ft/√Hz and 0.54 ft/√Hz. OPMs are based on the interaction between spin-polarized atoms and magne...

Human Sensorimotor Resting State β Events and Aperiodic Activity Exhibit Good Test-Retest Reliability Background Neurological diseases are some of the most impactful diseases on daily human life, particularly those affecting sensory and motor functions, such as Parkinson’s disease. Early diagnosis of these diseases is often exceedingly difficult du...

Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Somatosensory Cortex Network in Typically Developing Children Research Background Touch plays a crucial role in our interaction with external objects and the fine control of hand movements. Despite substantial research on the mechanisms of sensory information processing in human skin, it remains unclear how brain re...

Measurement of Human Auditory Evoked Fields Using a Flexible Multichannel Optically Pumped Magnetometer MEG System Xin Zhang and others, from the Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Jihua Laboratory in Foshan, Guangdong Province, and Guoke Medic...

Expanding the Clinical Application of OPM-MEG: An Effective Method for Automatically Suppressing Metal Artifacts from Dental Braces Background Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a technique that uses multi-channel magnetic field measurement sensors to reconstruct the neural current distribution and functional networks of the brain. Compared to electro...

Feasibility, Safety, and Performance of Full-Scalp Subdural EEG - A Report on Minimally Invasive Electrode Implantation Background and Purpose Since Berger first recorded human scalp electrical signals and discovered the alpha rhythm in 1929, the recording capabilities of electroencephalography (EEG) have significantly improved in terms of spatial ...

The Relationship between Treatment Speed of Endovascular Thrombectomy (EVT) for Acute Ischemic Stroke and Patient’s “Time at Home” Stroke is an acute disease with high disability and mortality rates. However, in recent years, the treatment efficacy of acute ischemic stroke has improved significantly with the development of endovascular thrombectomy...

Brain CT Analysis as a Tool for Outcome Prediction after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Supervised Machine Learning Analysis Research Background Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) is one of the leading causes of death in the Western world, with extremely low survival rates, ranging from 3% to 16%. The neurological and overall outcomes after O...

Natural History and MRI Follow-up of Patients with Cerebral Cavernous Malformations Background Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular malformations of the brain and spinal cord lined by endothelial cells and lacking smooth muscle. Due to the disruption of endothelial cell permeability and tight junctions, patients may present with foc...

Association Between Epigenetic Age Acceleration Estimates and Cognitive Trajectories in the Women’s Health Initiative Memory Study Background Maintaining cognitive function is crucial for independent living among older adults. With the growth of the aging population, cognitive decline has become a significant public health challenge. Many studies h...
