FieldLine, Inc.
Shaping the future of neuroscience and mental health 

Description: FieldLine has developed a new brain imaging system that can significantly impact how we diagnose and treat neurological and mental disorders. Based on our state-of-the-art quantum sensors, FieldLine’s HEDscan system is a wearable magnetoencephalography (MEG) device capable of detecting neural activity directly and in real-time for high-resolution functional imaging. It can fit subjects ranging from infants to adults and accommodate movement during recording without loss in signal fidelity. The HEDscan platform is designed to be scalable and can be tailored to different applications. It can be placed in any room of any medical facility without the need for expensive building modifications as required by existing MEG systems. Our novel HEDscan device can considerably expand the use of MEG in the research and clinical markets and can be used broadly in support of mental health.
