NON-INVASIVE MEASUREMENTS OF ICTAL AND INTERICTAL EPILEPTIFORM ACTIVITY USING OPTICALLY PUMPED MAGNETOMETERS

Abstract Magneto- and electroencephalography (MEG/EEG) are important techniques for the diagnosis and pre-surgical evaluation of epilepsy.Yet, in current cryogen-based MEG systems the sensors are offset from the scalp, which limits the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and thereby the sensitivity to activity from deep structures such as the hippocampus.T

Multiplex lateral flow assays are one of the greatest advancements in the world of rapid diagnostics, achieving the performance of several tests in one.These tests meet the basic requirements of increasing ease of use, low detection limit, and high specificity, as they combine the use of novel strategies, such as the exploitation of multiple detect
