This Brain-Scanning Quantum Device Is a 'Game Changer,' Researchers Say

Summary by Ground News

Researchers from the University of Sussex have developed a new type of magnetometer. The modular OPM can be used to replace SQUIDs, which measure magnetic fluctuations near the head. These fields are triggered when neurons fire and serve as an important signal of neural activity. OPMs are designed to share resources, such as their laser source, and are similar to a desktop personal computer.
