Magnetoencephalography & Electroencephalography
The MEG/EEG facility is equipped with a dc-SQUID Neuromag Vectorview MEG system that allows noninvasive spatiotemporal mapping of human brain activity. The Neuromag system has 306 MEG channels (2 planar gradiometers and a magnetometer at each of 102 sites in a helmet-shaped array) and 128 EEG cha...
Home Hospital Innovation Challenge Showcases Imaging Technologies of Tomorrow
On Thursday, May 18, the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging hosted the Home Hospital Innovation Challenge: a Shark Tank-like event in which researchers pitched ideas for novel biomedical imaging technologies that could be commercialized to meet a growing call for hospital-level care provi...
The Secret Lives of Martinos Folk: Carol Barnstead and the Center’s cast of colorful characters
I have this theory that you need to be a character to work at the Martinos Center; you have to be a bit of an oddball, albeit in a fun, quirky kind of way. I’m not sure whether this is a prerequisite enforced during one of the hiring steps or is simply the result of some kind of self-selection pr...

Matt Rosen and Colleagues’ Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants
In the waning months of 1979, the legendary Motown artist Stevie Wonder released an album called Stevie Wonder’s Journey Through "The Secret Life of Plants," the soundtrack to the documentary film The Secret Life of Plants. Equal parts frustrating and strangely compelling, and notably using some ...
National Working Group Releases Landmark Ethical Guidance for New Portable MRI Brain Research
MRI has transformed neuroscience research over the past 50 years, but research participants have had to travel to the scanner. With the advent of highly portable magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI), including pioneering work at the Martinos Center, the scanner will now come to them. This portable t...
Nanodiamond-enhanced MRI: A Dazzling New Approach to Imaging
Nanodiamonds – synthetic industrial diamonds only a few nanometers in size – have recently attracted considerable attention because of the potential they offer for the targeted delivery of vaccines and cancer drugs as well as for other uses. Thus far, options for imaging nanodiamonds have been li...
AMA @ Martinos: Jon Polimeni
On Thursday, June 23, the Martinos Center's Jon Polimeni will deliver a keynote lecture at the 2022 meeting of the Organization of Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) in Glasgow, Scotland. In advance of the lecture, Jon is an all-around fascinating guy, so we were thrilled when he agreed to submit to an "...
Center for Mesoscale Mapping
Brain science tools have advanced in several distinct directions. Advanced tools in molecular biology now allow neuroscientists to study distinct patterns of gene expression in individual neural cells, leading to the potential for a comprehensive atlas of cell types. In parallel, tools that allow...

Deep Learning Offers Quantitative Means of Monitoring Disease Progression in Retinopathy of Prematurity
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an eye disorder affecting roughly two-thirds of premature infants weighing less than 250 g at birth and one of the leading causes of childhood blindness worldwide. Historically, clinical diagnosis of ROP has been subjective, resulting in considerable variabilit...
The Road to MPI
Functional MRI has proved a transformative technology, yielding previously unimaginable insights into the workings of the brain. But what if there were another approach, one with dramatically higher sensitivity, that could shed even more light on these mysteries? What might we learn then? Larry ...
