Paper accepted in Cerebral Cortex
Griffiths, B. J., Duecker, K., Fakche, C., Dugué, L., Quinn, A., & Jensen, O. (accepted). Rhythmic light stimulation elicits multiple, concurrent neural responses that separably shape human perception. Cereb. Cortex We show that rhythmic light stimulation elicits multiple concurrent neural responses at both the stimulation frequency and its harmonics, with distinct spectral, spatial, and temporal properties. Harmonic gamma responses support stimulus-specific visual coding, wh

A Thank You to all OPM-FLUX 2026 Participants and Speakers!
The OPM-FLUX Toolkit 2026 came to an end on the 16th of July. We would like to thank all the brilliant participants who came from all over the world to collaborate and learn from each other. We would also like to extend gratitude to our speakers who made the event engaging and informative. Finally, big thanks to St Catherine's College for their beautiful venue and delicious lunches!

Paper accepted in IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems & Rehabilitation Engineering
Liang, J., Bezsudnova, Y., Kowalczyk, A., Sun, Y., & Jensen, O. (2026). Enhanced neural decoding with optically pumped magnetometer MEG using multivariate pattern analysis. IEEE Trans. Neural Syst. Rehabil. Eng. OPM-MEG outperformed SQUID-MEG for multivariate decoding of pictures and words, with the clearest advantage for word decoding. Decoding performance increased with sensor number and plateaued at around 40 sensors, with OPM reaching strong performance with fewer sensors

Wynn, S.C., Bezsudnova, Y. And Jensen, O. (2026). Neural Sharpening of Object Categories Through Parafoveal Priming. (in press) Commun Biol Every few moments, our eyes jump to new parts of a scene. This study asked whether objects seen just outside the centre of gaze give the brain a useful head start. Participants viewed natural object pictures while brain activity was recorded with MEG. When an object appeared first in the parafovea and then shortly afterwards in the centr
