Institute of Neuroscience’s New Brain Scanner a “Gamechanger” for Irish Brain Research
Trinity’s Institute of Neuroscience (TCIN) has acquired the country’s first wearable brain scanner.
The €2 million device, one of only 14 in the world, has been hailed a “gamechanger” for Irish brain research.
Developed by the Nottingham-based Cerca Magnetics, the scanner – known as an OPM-MEG system – is located in TCIN’s new brain imaging facility.
The facility is a specially designed, copper-lined room in the basement of the Lloyd Building, which prevents interference from background magnetic fields, allowing the device to pick up sensitive brain signals.
The device uses magnetoencephalography (MEG), a technique that uses quantum technology to track brain activity in real time.
