MEGIN Spotlights

Lauri Parkkonen and Rasmus Zetter from MEGIN, Helsinki team discuss differences between OPM technology and conventional SQUID-based MEG. We discover the benefits of each technology and its utilization and application.

MEGIN invited Professor Nobukazu Nakasato, Chair of the Epileptology Department at Tohoku University, Japan. Professor Nakasato, describes in this talk how is Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is incorporated into the operational flow of the epileptology department, i.e. how is MEG used in conjunction with other modalities. In this interview, he also touches upon how a MEG scan might benefit the epilepsy care plan for patients.

MEGIN invited Dr. Olaf Hauk, the Senior Investigator Scientist at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit at the University of Cambridge as a guest to give our viewers an insight into how Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is utilized at the Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in a number of research studies using a multi-modal imaging approach to problems in the neuroscience of language and cognition.

MEGIN has frequently asked Magnetoencephalography (MEG) thought and key opinion leaders the question, how MEG can support and help with clinical pre-evaluation for epilepsy surgery. The question is answered by two KOL's active globally, Dr. Stefan Rampp and Dr. Saleem Malik, both active in the epilepsy neurosurgery departments at their respective hospitals.

Dimitrios Pantazis, the Principal Research Scientist and Director of the MEG Lab at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT discusses his two areas of research focus: human visual recognition and Alzheimer's disease as well as the future of MEG and predicted advances in machine learning and AI.

Dr. Saleem Malik discusses how epileptologist became comfortable with MEG Technology and realized the benefits of its utility since its installation in 2012. In 2021, MEG has now become part of the operational standard of care for pre-surgical evaluation in epilepsy patients at this Neuroscience Center.

Dr. Angel Hernandez serves as the Division Chief of Neurosciences and Dr. Paul Ferrari, the Technical Director for MEG at the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital. The Helen DeVos Children's Hospital is a 234-bed regional referral center and teaching hospital based in Michigan. It offers advanced pediatric specialty care with more than 300 pediatric physicians who practice in more than 50 pediatric specialties and programs. The hospital is Michigan's largest neonatal center and is ranked as one of the Best Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report.

Dr. Fernando Maestu leads many extremely interesting studies around Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia that have required and utilized the use of Magnetoencephalography Technology to assess AD patients. In this spotlight, we find out more about how the Lab uses MEG data to support Alzheimer's Disease.

Dr. Saleem Malik is our guest on another episode of our MEGIN Spotlight this week. Dr. Malik is the Medical Director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy program as well as the Magnetoencephalography Lab in Fort Worth, Texas. In this episode, Dr. Malik discusses how MEG has helped in delineate frontal lobe epilepsy and other areas of epileptic foci.
