DMEG-1 — Diamond Magnetoencephalography
A room-temperature diamond-quantum sensing approach aimed at practical, scalable detection of brain signals— without cryogenic cooling.
Why MEG + why diamond
MEG is a non-invasive modality used to map brain activity and functional areas tied to memory, language, motor control, and sensory processing. It supports diagnosis/treatment planning across multiple neurological disorders.
A portable MEG system that operates under ambient conditions would be transformative. D-MEG uses NV centers in diamond at room temperature, enabling closer sensor placement and potentially denser arrays for improved spatial resolution and signal quality.
Prototype status
- Phantom validation: initial D-MEG prototype tested on a custom phantom head with an internal electromagnet.
- Small probe: includes a 10 mm × 10 mm probe that can be placed on a patient’s head.
- Integration path: newer probe integrates laser, RF antenna, diamond, and collection hardware in a compact volume.
