Motion Capture Paves the Way for Mobile Quantum Brain Scanning

Cerca Magnetics has announced their role in a major UK initiative developing the world’s first mobile quantum brain scanner, a breakthrough that could fundamentally change how brain injury and blast exposure are measured in active war zones.

Long before this latest milestone, Target3D had the privilege of supporting Cerca Magnetics during earlier stages of their research.

Working together, we provided OptiTrack motion capture technology to support MEG brain scanning studies focused on improving comfort and data accuracy, particularly when working with children, where natural movement is unavoidable.

Accurate motion capture plays a crucial role in brain imaging.

By capturing and compensating for movement in real time, researchers can use diagnostic procedures like brain scanning outside of controlled clinical environments and into more robust settings.

Crucially, the mobile laboratory will deploy directly to military firing ranges, field hospitals and rehabilitation centres, bringing the technology where it is needed most.

Target3D is proud to have played a part in that journey, and we’re excited to see where this technology goes next.
