What this Trial Is About
This study is being done to help scientists learn about the use of a device called an atomic magnetometer. The device uses sensors called optically-pumped magnetometers (OPM) which function at room temperature. This research will compare the non-invasive brain imaging application of the OPM sensors to the present SQUID-based cryogenic sensor technique used in conventional Magnetoencephalography (MEG). This study is being conducted in conjunction with the University of Colorado Boulder's Mechanical Engineering Department.

Who Can Participate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Project A: Any adult subject, who is at least eighteen (18 - 70) years old.
- Project B: Any clinical patient referred to us via the clinical MEG program, and who is at least eighteen (18 - 70) years old.
You will not qualify if you...
- ONLY applicable to Project A: have a history of neurological disorders (e.g., epilepsy, Parkinson disease, Alzheimer's disease, Autism, etc…).
- BOTH projects: have large amounts of metal or other magnetic field producing components present in their body or external to their body close to the measurement site, which are needed for normal functioning (e.g., metal implants, pacemakers, hearing aids, braces etc.). There is no harm to the subject with metal, it disturbs the sensor reading. Dental fillings are not excluded.
- BOTH projects: pregnant women.
- ONLY applicable to Project A: are not comfortable lying still for the time of the recording.
- BOTH projects: are unable to offer independent informed consent to study participation.
