Worn like a helmet, a new brain scanner aims to make it easier to treat kids with epilepsy
Researchers hope to use a helmet-sized brain scanner to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients with epilepsy and other neurological disorders.
A brain scanner now used to guide treatment of patients with epilepsy and other neurological disorders is bulky and challenging to use on fidgety young children — but researchers hope it might soon be replaced by a new machine that’s not much bigger than a bike helmet.
Scientists at University College London have created a prototype of a lightweight, easier-to-use version of a magnetoencephalography, or MEG, brain scanner. These machines monitor the
