Brady is really an asset. I have been watching these Sixty Symbols videos for a long time. He always asks very pointed and relevant questions. His interactions with the various scientists are very informative and very respectful. He is the perfect person to do this work. A ringing endorsement is my conclusion. Go Brady!

I worked in this field and it’s absolutely remarkable how well professor Brookes is able to explain such complex things in the simplest way possible.

That shot at 9:41 is so gorgeous. The intense stare, the oversized brain helmet, you look like a super villain that's trying to melt Batman with his mind.

2:18 Brady: This feels like a James Bond torture device Matt the Scientist: *cackles in response*

Prof. Brookes did a great job with his explanations and making the science seem accessible.

Brady's enthusiasm for science is so engaging, endearing, and authentic.

I worked for Sir Godfrey Hounsfield on the development of the original CT scanner. He would have been amazed, but not surprised, to see just how far medical imaging has advanced.

14:52 Almost as if Brady's brain was pretending to write with his right hand but translating that into left hand movement.

This is so cool! It's interesting to see the behind-the-scenes of what goes into developing this kind of equipment. The device shown here seems rather compact, so it is easy to imagine them being used in hospitals. It's not like going into MRI or CT machine.

I love how the Matlab plot's title says "Updated!", like there is a long debug history behind it, haha

The Brady & James formula really shines in this video. Understated visuals with a casual feel, a knowledgeable, eloquent guest expert, and Brady's knack for asking just the right questions bring the viewer along on a low-key field trip to an amazing place.

absolutely fascinating, Brady should consider doing even deeper dives, like a 1, 2 hr with selected Academics such as Professor Matt Brookes, could cover the history, development etc in even deeper detail.

What an amazing technology to be able to do this without needing a massive machine surrounding your head or cooling to near absolute zero temps! I am trying to imagine this with a thousand sensors instead of just a few dozens.. a couple of iterations of this design could see some wild improvements. -Matt

Right when I needed a Sixty Simbols video, thank you Brady!

Hope matt is doing great, he was the best tutor ever

Can't help being reminded of the 80's movie, Brainstorm. The SF "suspension of disbelief" element was the recording and replay of detailed thoughts and experiences, but there was also some fasicnating technology foreshadowing. As I recall, the helmet in the story started out as a bulky affair restricted to the lab, which used LN2 cooled SQUIDs sensors, later to be replaced by a light streamligned version made possible by "room temperature" superconductors....

2:58 when you're listening to their story but can't believe they haven't mentioned your new hat yet

I loved the almost poetic analogy at the beginning with the cities/people&cars > MRI/MRG, nice one Brady...

This is such a great channel. Sixy Symbols is able to capture these moments so well!

As a left handed person, I'd love to see how that affects the scan.

What an excellent and detailed explanation, great video!

That is some truly awesome work. Thanks for sharing.

2:46 That look from Brady is gold

Truly some fantastic work being done. Thank you for sharing!

What an amazing piece of kit. I wish you all the very best. It really is fabulous.

Absolutely amazing video!

Absolutely loved this video! Prof. Brookes did an excellent job of walking us through the relevant concepts and their importance.

This is so exciting! I'm really happy we're developing new ways for collecting functional data and not just spatial imaging. :)

This makes me so excited to see that we're already making such amazing machines to replace the costly and hard to maintain superconducting magnets.

Fantastic video! Thank you Matt and Brady for such a clear explanation and demonstration. 😁👍👍👍👍👍

Lovely to see some applied physics on here! Superb work Brady, and thank you Professor Brookes!

Amazing people doing amazing work!

mad respect for everyone involved in this project and great job for the video crew

you just have to adore all the people appearing/speaking on this channel. great video again.

Thanks Matt and Brady. Fascinating

Delightful video, I loved it thanks Brady!

Excellent! Well done and do keep us informed. Kind Regards

Brilliant, thanks for your efforts.

why does it look like grumpy-brady on the thumbnail? :D Love IT! i hope brady sends grey a fractal of this brain scan! :D

Thanks for sharing this information. Very interesting, and your explanations are great for us non-scientists.

Great questions from Brady and great answers from Professor Brookes! Very engaging and easy to understand.

Amazing video for a great concept.

Love this style of video, with you moderating infront of the Camera

Great video! Thanks!

Wonderful work.

This is an awesome video. I like seeing Brady on screen while still being an excellent interviewer.

Awesome video Brady

Hey. I think you remember me. I translated Periodic Videos videos into Portuguese. Last year I discovered a brain tumor (not cancer), identified as a subependymoma. I also have daily fasciculations (tremors) all over my body, not knowing what it really is. I still work at the University in Brazil, but I am very afraid of having some degenerative brain disease. This video was important to me. Maybe someday I'll really understand what's happening to me. Thank you very much. Hugs.

What amazing work.

This here is freaking cool! The brain is so interesting, and its great to add another piece of tech that will help in understanding how it works!

Fascinating. It's like a super-EEG. I can see it's early days but the promise is enormous. I can see it leading to things like 'pacemakers' for the brain to turn off things like epileptic foci before they turn into fits (something I suffered from in my teens and early 20s) or to turn off the voices which someone I know with schizophrenia hears and lead to their screaming at them to stop.

Amazing technology and fantastic explanations!

I have been wanting and wishing that this kind of research be developed for a while now. I'm really happy to see this. I hope it continues to get advanced and becomes available for people of low economic standings so we can really help mental health conditions, improve treatment for mental health, like depression, anxiety, pain, discomfort. Concussion effects on the brain, degenerative brain health conditions learning and finding medicine that helps the conditions. The epilepsy zoning in part was a good idea, working in tandem with neurologists or surgeons. This really could improve parts of the medical field oh, Also, I hope researchers start studying the top violent criminal Serial killers prisoners. I just think that if we've caught them we should do everything possible to research them and see if there is anything we can learn, improve, identify, do, to work on better ways to address and improve what to do with this issue of these kinds of violent criminals effecting society. Who knows maybe a type of technology like this or similar will find ways to learn a lot about this problem because up until now we've just locked them up and hoped it stopped but it doesn't, so we will at least try to gain research studies from these types of people who effect society. We might as well try to learn something from them if we can because it could be beneficial.

this actually makes brain interface much more comfortable. just add a meche for isolation from outside fields, and you can game with your brain with no strange junk.

Gotta love Brady asking the questions I never knew I wanted answered. Brilliant part on the colour!

Very exciting, thank you for this video!

Such a cool piece of technology. kudos to everyone who were working on it

Gosh, seeing the inside of your brain almost feels like it should be a patreon perk.

Someone in this field is going to get a Nobel prize in the future

Old technology? You mean like a saw? I love neuroscience. And that's an amazing insight. I ve heard of this. Now you put a video out. So awesome

"High there everyone"....just makes me smile everytime dude. Thanks for all your hard work i truly love these videos. Look for them everyday

Really cool! I'm reading the book The Emotional Life of Your Brain and am so excited to watch this field develop!

Nifty ! I'd think the spatial resolution of such a device is mostly a matter of the size of & the space in between those sensors but what about its overall temporal resolution ? How long does it take to align the atoms or whatever else happens in between each individual unaveraged measurement ?

I'm hugely excited for _any_ sort of low-cost methods of obtaining biomarkers for mental health conditions. I suspect that lack of clarity in mental health diagnosis and treatment is probably the biggest crisis currently affecting developed nations, probably causing more reduction of quality of life than obesity and cancer put together.

Amazing technology!

Fascinating. From stroke studies we know that only half of left handers use the opposite side of their brain for language. This kind of imaging opens the door for all kinds of studies showing functional details in left handers, people who have recovered from brain injury, etc.

Very exciting topic!

cool tech. cant wait for stuff like this to be available for even more people.

On a not serious note, boiiiis get ready to be uploaded to the cloud On a serious note: I can't wait to see how this will get integrated in daily Hospital operations like monitoring comatose or non responsive patients I'll definitely be keeping tabs on this project seems very promising and its definitely worth sharing with your friends in the medical field just to let them know we got cool new toys on the way thanks to these brilliant scientists

(0:38) That's the room Magneto goes into to use his Magnetoencephalography device to read the minds of everyone on Earth.

Very cool technology. You can see all sorts of applications...sport, depression, add...all sorts of amazing things. Thats totally amazing. I'd love to get involved.

Really interesting! I can definitely see that Computational Nueroscience and similar fields will be super in demand in next years-decades.

Fascinating seeing this method vs the contact style dense array w/ salt water (potassium chrome w/ where In worked) awesome!

3:15 The only thing I could think of was... "Ludicrous speeeed!!!"

i can't express enough how much i love science

I was wondering why they were using a projector as a display but if you think about it for a second it's pretty obvious.

Heart warming and fascinating to see links being forged between fundamental physics and real world applications that are tackling horrific things like childhood brain cancer. Really makes me appreciate that the science (and mathematics) isn't just about admiring the awe and majesty of the universe.

This is incredible. I want one of these labs in every country.

Very interesting, I didn't know about this new method! One question though: How does it compare to alternative "portable" functional brain scanning technics such as NIRS?

So its here they made the Peacemaker helmets, fascinating. (on the top shelf at 13:22 lol)

That was a fascinating videos…excellent future in this….

Wow, very interesting! Thank you.

Fascinating! 👍😎

I have an experiment with left hand writing that almost anyone can perform. Try writing the same word with both hands at the same time but the left hand is mirroring the right, as in writing backwards. I found my ability to write with my left improved significantly. Albeit backwards. There was still difficulty and I had to pace my self but the action of writing was far more comfortable and the results more legible and tidy. Would have loved to see the results of this task in this machine.

Finally, Brady doing a brain reveal

Fascinating. Terrifying, but fascinating. Also, as a left-hander, hearing them say, “Writing with your left hand is incredibly difficult” made me lol

2:49 Eyeroll of the century 🤣

great stuff

love this!

This was great.

Science. Got to love it.

Its kinda like your right hand instructions go though a translation layer to do the left handed writing. That's pretty neat.

both these guys were great on camera

This was awesome

I had an opportunity to participate in experiment with MEG. So now science has my brain picture :)

very interesting !!!

2:18 that evil laughter 😅

I'd love to see footage of the full test, I quite enjoy things like this

Very exciting technology!!

I clicked on this video not expecting to have a new optics-related thing to look into! I didn't know Rb vapour cells had been incorporated into such compact off-the-shelf devices. I gotta read into these OPMs more...
