Post-doc researcher Zelekha Seedat discusses her work as a postdoctoral researcher at Young Epilepsy, focusing on Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and the innovative Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPM) technology. She explains the differences between MEG and EEG, the advantages of OPM technology, and the challenges faced in interpreting data. The conversation also covers the importance of combining EEG with OPM-MEG for better data accuracy, the future potential of OPM-MEG in clinical settings, and how to get involved in her research!

Post-doc researcher Christine Embury shares with us her research on the cool OPM-MEG technology for brain imaging - its advantages (particularly for children with refractory epilepsy and considering brain surgery!) and how it could improve patient outcomes and our understanding of developmental trajectories in paediatric epilepsies! Lastly, Christine and Torie chat about the cost-effectiveness of the device, its benefits from an energy usage/climate change perspective, and how both patients and clinicians can get involved in the research!
