The improved spatial specificity of OPM-MEG due to the reduced brain-sensor distance is key. And more sensors (beyond 40) don't improve decoding.

Does this repeated exposure cause repetition suppression or information accumulation? MEG work by Syanah Wynn suggests both as a consequence of neural sharpening. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.16.654463v127 May 2025 11:06 +0000at://did:plc:ojznusckdfbpvmfvogeps5hr/app.bsky.feed.post/3lq5kallyqc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/olejensen.bsky.social/post/3lp7yx2ukjk23Hands-on training at University of Oxford using OPM in cognitive and clinical neuroscience.
