MEG Nord topics span perception, cognition, brain development, disorders, and quantum sensors. Abstract/reg deadline will be October 30, 2025. We expect to have a few travel grants available for early career researchers travelling from Europe who submit an abstract or are invited for a talk! 🧠📈

So great to see so much OPM-MEG showcased at #FITNG2025! Come see my own contribution demonstrating fetal OPM-MEG with visual stimulation responses at poster P2-H-96. We plan to take this much further in the next few years, also happy to chat about the postdoc or PhD position we have available!

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. They must have done background research with a real MEG lab, reimagining it as steampunk – they even marked fiducials the way we do! They only lose a point for confusing an MRI scan for a CT. 😚

My library found this article (auf Deutsch!) but this plot isn't in there. 😔 BTW a fellow PhD student back in the day, Erik Edwards, became obsessed with Motokawa and summarized much of his work in his thesis. You might be interested to have a look! faculty.washington.edu/seattle/brai...

striking to me that this interview ends with him plaintively pleading for other university leaders to speak up: "I don’t think this is all about Princeton. It’s about what’s happening in the United States. I think this would be so much stronger if many more of my fellow presidents were speaking up."

NYC pensions have more than $1B in Elon Musk’s Tesla. Justin Brannan wants to divest.

Brannan is running for city comptroller against Mark Levine, the Manhattan borough president, in what many expect to be a competitive race.
