An interview with Dr. Caroline Witton on OPM-MEG
Aston University’s Institute of Health of Neurodevelopment (IHN) and Birmingham Children’s Hospital got a new, child-friendly magnetoencephalography (MEG) brain scanner.
A nine-strong clinical and research team led by Dr Caroline Witton, reader in psychology, was awarded an £800,000 grant from the Medical Research Council (MRC) Capital Funding for World Class Labs scheme. This has been supplemented by Aston University, giving a total budget of £2.5m to purchase the MEG scanner from French company MAG4Health and construct a new, magnetically shielded laboratory in the IHN building to house it.
