OPM Collaboration
At the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, Gareth Barnes’ lab is developing a wearable MEG brain scanning technology, using optically pumped magnetometers (OPM). One of our key public engagement projects, the OPM Collaboration, is embedded in the development of this research.
Patterns of perception
The benefit of art, music and dance for people with Parkinson’s disease was explored by UCL, Central Saint Martins and English National Ballet (ENB).
The ‘Patterns of Perception’ project involved a series of workshops over three weeks in 2019. People with Parkinson’s disease explored dance, music and visual arts and shared their personal experiences.

Leonard Wolfson Experimental Neurology Centre (LWENC) Patient and Public Involvement Panel
The LWENC CRF is keen to involve members of the public in our research. We have a Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Panel comprised of volunteers. Our PPI panel helps us to improve the way we carry out research by sharing their opinions on how clinical trials are run.
