  • Exploring the Future of Brain Imaging: OPM-MEG - Zelekha Seedat

    Exploring the Future of Brain Imaging: OPM-MEG - Zelekha Seedat
    Nov 21 2024

    Post-doc researcher Zelekha Seedat discusses her work as a postdoctoral researcher at Young Epilepsy, focusing on Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and the innovative Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPM) technology. She explains the differences between MEG and EEG, the advantages of OPM technology, and the challenges faced in interpreting data. The conversation also covers the importance of combining EEG with OPM-MEG for better data accuracy, the future potential of OPM-MEG in clinical settings, and how to get involved in her research!

  • OPM-MEGs - New, Precise Brain Scans For Epilepsy - Christine Embury

    OPM-MEGs - New, Precise Brain Scans For Epilepsy - Christine Embury
    Nov 14 2024

    Post-doc researcher Christine Embury shares with us her research on the cool OPM-MEG technology for brain imaging - its advantages (particularly for children with refractory epilepsy and considering brain surgery!) and how it could improve patient outcomes and our understanding of developmental trajectories in paediatric epilepsies! Lastly, Christine and Torie chat about the cost-effectiveness of the device, its benefits from an energy usage/climate change perspective, and how both patients and clinicians can get involved in the research!

Great guests & bite-sized

Each episode features great clinicians and researchers. You might think epilepsies are limited and the topics limited but you would be wrong. Worth a listen from various perspectives whether you are a patient, professional, or interested in science.

Give an episode a go!
