This article addresses several critical aspects of using optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs), focusing on both metrological issues and the enhancement of signal quality. We present a quantitative methodology for OPM measurements standardization and quality evaluation, which is crucial in biomedical applications like magnetoencephalography (MEG). Additionally, we introduce a novel, cost-effective...Show More
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a powerful method for imaging brain activity, with superior spatial resolution compared to electroencephalography (EEG). Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID)-based systems are mostly used for MEG-acquisition, but they come with limitations like sensor-to-scalp distance and high ownership costs. Optically pumped magnetometers (OPM) sensors are emerging...Show More
The paper introduces a novel hardware-software complex for the low latency real time phase-dependent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) neurofeedback. The software with key elements implemented on the board of the EEG-recording device accurately tracks the sensorimotor rhythm phase with minimal time-delay and immediately sends the trigger to the TMS-device. An accurate phase estimation is ach...Show More
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a system enabling direct communication between the brain and external devices. It has large potential in neurorehabilitation. New optically-pumped magnetometer (OPM)-based recording systems have large potential among noninvasive electroencephalographic and traditional magnetoencephalographic BCI-systems., that should be revealed., however. Here we demonstrated goo...Show More
This article discusses the use of independent component analysis (ICA) to detect different movements that are most significant for the brain-computer interface, in relation to the rehabilitation of post-stroke patients with upper limb paresis. The control signal for the brain-computer interface uses synchronization (desynchronization) of the sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) during motor imagery. ICA is u...Show More
