A new quantum sensor developed by scientists at the University of Sussex in the UK could help clinicians identify diseases such as dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s by tracking patients’ brain waves and monitoring how their speed changes over time. The sensor, which is based on a real-time, high-spatial-resolution neuroimaging technique known as magnetoencephalography (MEG), uses an array of quantum devices called optically-pumped magnetometers (OPMs) to map the tiny magnetic fields generate
