Modern quantum sensors have the potential to radically improve magnetoencephalography. Recently, compact optically pumped magnetometers (OPM) have become available that can measure magnetic fields extremely sensitively. In the future, they are to replace expensive and complex laboratory set-ups that are currently needed for magnetoencephalography.
What does quantum sensor technology hold for the future of non-invasive imaging of the brain? This question will be discussed by leading scientists in the field of quantum sensing at the first OPM-MEG workshop at Fraunhofer IPM in Freiburg.
On the eve of the event, the "Carl Zeiss Humboldt Lecture" will take place. Quantum optician Prof. Svenja Akkira Knappe from the University of Colorado at Boulder, USA, will give an overview of her research in the area of magnetic field measurement with optically pumped magnetometers and the potential for high-precision measurement of brain waves. The event is sponsored by the Carl Zeiss Foundation as part of the Carl Zeiss Humboldt Research Award.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
