You could soon play ping-pong during a brain scan. Researchers at University College London and University of Nottingham, UK, have developed a light, wearable brain scanner that can be mounted on the head and allows the patient to nod, stretch or even play ping-pong while a scan is being conducted. The conventional magnetoencephalography (MEG) scanners used for such scans currently employ sensors that require the subject to stay very still. This transformative imaging setup uses quantum brain sensors. The technology is customisable and will help doctors scan patients who are unable to sit still, such as those with neurological conditions. It is also expected to improve the speed and accuracy of scans.
