Quantum Neuroimaging (QuNeuro)
The Quantum Neuroimaging (QuNeuro) group develops and applies novel quantum technologies to image the human body. Particularly, we focus on applying quantum magnetometers (optically pumped magnetometers) to measure the function of the human brain, nervous system and muscles.
Our aims are
- To improve the scientific and clinical capabilities of biomagnetic imaging by developing portable systems and by extending the reach of these techniques to new and smaller units of the human body.
- To reduce the infrastructural requirements for biomagnetic imaging by developing lightweight magnetic shielding solutions.
- To improve the spatial resolution of biomagnetic imaging with novel sensing techniques and mathematical methods.
- To further the theory of bioelectromagnetism.
