Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a non-invasive imaging technique for investigating human brain function, uniquely capable of
measuring brain activity with good spatial and temporal resolution. MEG operates by detecting magnetic fields naturally produced by
the brain, with no applied fields or injections. Epilepsy diagnosis is the most advanced clinical application for MEG. Six million people
are affected by epilepsy in Europe alone, with about 300 000 new cases every year. Use cases for MEG are growing, for example
diagnosis of mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI), which represents more than half of the 2.5 million new TBI cases each year in Europe. Clinical use of MEG is at present limited to large hospitals and elite clinics due to space, cost and the need for specialized cryogenics technicians.
Optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) are a cryogen-free quantum sensor technology with extraordinary magnetic sensitivity.
Relative to cryogenic methods, OPM provide a superior balance of sensitivity, size and proximity to the cortex, but have not yet been
implemented in technologies that are simultaneously manufacturable at scale, high-performing, and cost-effective. OPMMEG will
develop an OPM array that meets these requirements for wide-spread use of OPMs in MEG, and demonstrate its application to
magnetoencephalography.
The project brings together world leaders in quantum sensor components and systems, commercial MEG systems and MEG
applications. OMPMEG will build a value chain from photonic devices to systems connecting all relevant stakeholders. The consortium
is composed of 2 SMEs, 2 world-class research organizations and 1 university from 3 European countries. The position of these
organizations in their respective markets guarantees that the project results will be widely exploited, providing the companies with a
technological advantage over their worldwide competitors thus creating new high-tech jobs and technology leadership in Europe.
