Head-cast design and fabrication: A) Single sagittal slice from the anatomical MRI. B) Outer head surface extracted from MRI. C) CAD model of the head-cast with slots designed to house the OPM sensors over sensorimotor cortex. Slot positions are based on a-priori prediction of the spatial topography of scalp field pattern, derived from previous SQUID measurements in the same subject. D) 3D-printed head-cast on subject. E) Subject in situ with the OPM attached. Note that the head-cast is not only fixed rigidly to the subject's scalp, but is also fixed relative to the MSR, thus eliminating any sensor motion relative to the subject, and subject motion relative to the MSR.
