As you read, your brain s cells are generating electrical currents that emit infinitesimally small magnetic fields. Now, Virginia Tech scientists can measure them using a new brain imaging technique called optically pumped magnetometry.
Researchers at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have received a $2.4 million grant from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, part of the National Institutes of Health, to measure the brain s subtle magnetic signals in two research volunteers simultaneously as they interact, capturing the rich complexity of the brain s signaling during face-to-face social interactions in real-time.
