About Cerca Magnetics

Cerca Magnetics develops and offers the Cerca OPM-MEG system, a wearable, helmet-style functional brain scanner designed for research use. The device uses optically-pumped magnetometers to measure magnetic fields generated by neuronal activity, enabling real-time brain imaging with millisecond temporal and millimetre spatial precision. It is positioned as a lightweight, ergonomic solution that allows movement during scanning and aims to advance neuroscience, mental health, epilepsy, dementia, and brain injury research. The system emphasizes wearability, adaptability to different head sizes, and integrated magnetically-shielded environments to enhance sensitivity and reduce cost relative to traditional MEG scanners.
