Principal Investigator The Mind Research Network Dr. Yoshio Okada is a former Professor of Neurology and Neuroscience at the University of New Mexico and Director of the University of New Mexico Biomedical Research and Integrative NeuroImaging (BRaIN Imaging) Center. He is a member of the faculty of Harvard Medical school and a member of the new fetal and neonatal brain development research center headed by Prof. Ellen Grant, effective summer, 2009, at Children’s Hospital Boston.
His interest is in the development of novel instruments using biomagnetic methods and applications of these methods in neuroscience. He is the lead inventor of a pediatric magnetoencephalography (MEG) system called babysQUID. He is currently developing a second-generation whole-head babySQUID. He has been using the babySQUID to study human brain development in infants and children. He is the head of a new organization (Moment Technologies) to develop novel applications of a magnetic microscope in areas of neuroscience, nuclear magnetic resonance and biochemistry. He is working with Tristan Technologies, inc., San Diego, CA, to develop a novel superconducting multichannel transcranial magnetic stimulation (sTMS) system. |
