Australian Center Readies Brain Research Program for Addition of Elekta MEG System

April 18, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

MELBOURNE, Australia, April 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Certain
brain processes happen in the blink of an eye – and even
faster – which has made pinpointing these events virtually
impossible. The advent of magnetoencephalography (MEG) changed all
that, enabling researchers to capture brain electrical activity
measured in milliseconds, and offering the potential to reveal the
nature of innumerable brain disorders and diseases. Swinburne
University of Technology is set to join the global MEG community
with the acquisition of Elekta Neuromag® TRIUX, Elekta’s latest generation MEG
system.

“With MEG, you can localize and map where brain activity is
happening and you can do that in real-time – from moment to
moment – with millisecond resolution,” says Prof. Michael
Kyrios, Director of Swinburne’s Brain and
Psychological Sciences Research Centre. “This degree of
‘temporal resolution’ is unavailable in any other form of imaging,
such as MRI, which provides great images but not particularly great
temporal resolution. MEG is relatively new technology, it offers
new possibilities and we want to be part of that.”

Swinburne’s Elekta Neuromag TRIUX system, scheduled to become
operational in mid-2011, will be a part of the University’s Brain
and Psychological Sciences Research Centre and will be sited in the
new Advanced
Technology Center (ATC). The ATC houses a formidable array of
complementary brain research technology, such as a 3.0T MRI, EEG
and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Additional ATC
facilities include clinical trial, psychopathology and baby labs,
as well as a center to disseminate evidence based psychological
treatments via the Internet.

Prof. Kyrios is presently overseeing the recruitment of several
research staff who can exploit MEG’s u
