Summary

This study tested a new, more affordable type of brain activity sensor (optical pumping magnetometer) against the standard expensive sensor (SQUID) in 4 people with epilepsy. The goal was to see if the new sensor could detect abnormal brain signals just as well. If successful, this technology could make advanced brain imaging available to more hospitals.
