00:00MRI is an exceptional piece of technology and it can take structural images of the brain with millimetre precision.
00:07But one of the things it can't do is measure electrophysiological activity in the brain.
00:12So that's how our brains communicate with each other and the rest of our central nervous system by sending tiny electrical impulses.
00:19And that's what our new piece of kit is able to do.
00:24We know in healthcare that the earlier you can find a condition the more options you have for treating it
00:30and that has financial implications as well as just designing the right intervention.
00:38But the other side is really understanding what's going on in the body.
00:41There's an awful lot more still to be found out and so these tools are actually really important in the medical science as well.
