Summary

This study tested a new type of brain scanner (MEG) that uses cheaper sensors called optical pumping magnetometers. The goal was to see if these sensors can detect abnormal brain activity in people with epilepsy as well as the expensive standard sensors. Only 4 people participated, and the results will help decide if this technology can be used more widely.
