We have a developed a wearable magnetoencephalography (MEG) system comprising 50, miniaturised optical pumped magnetometers (OPMs) fixed on an EEG-type cap. Large, bi-planar field and field-gradient coils sited inside a magnetically shielded room reduce the field around the head to < 1nT. This allows the subject to move their head during experiments without confounding the OPM signals. We report results from a simple finger abduction paradigm and a motor learning experiment in which a subject learns to play the ukulele. The results demonstrate the potential of OPM-MEG to overcome some limitations of neuroimaging investigations using fixed, cumbersome scanners.
