Cerca Magnetics Limited

Cerca Magnetics Limited is a UK-based start-up founded in July 2020, emerging from a collaboration between the University of Nottingham and Magnetic Shields Limited. The company specializes in designing and supplying advanced biomagnetic imaging equipment that leverages quantum technology to accurately image human brain function. Their flagship product is the world's first wearable magnetoencephalography (MEG) scanner, which measures the magnetic fields produced by neuronal activity. This innovative device uses optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) that function at room temperature, making it lightweight and ergonomic. This design allows for natural movement during scans and is adaptable for various head sizes, enhancing its use in children and clinical populations. The MEG system provides precise assessments of brain function, generating three-dimensional images that are valuable for neuroscience research and clinical applications, including epilepsy diagnosis and monitoring neurodevelopmental disorders. Cerca Magnetics has installed its systems in various research and clinical settings and has received recognition for its innovation, including the 2022 Business Innovation Award. The company serves neuroscience researchers, clinical institutions, and healthcare providers focused on brain health.
