Summary
This study tests a new type of sensor (OPM) that measures the tiny magnetic fields produced by brain activity. Researchers want to see if it can pinpoint brain activity more accurately than current technology. About 75 healthy adults aged 18-65 will do tasks like listening to sounds or feeling puffs of air while their brain activity is recorded.
