New fashion

I'd like to get a hat like this.



What it's actually designed for (EEG?), or if one was ever constructed, I don't know. Random web image.

[Thanks to The Neurocritic, it's been identified as the Finnish MEG magnetoencephalography sensor array.]

It's for MEG, magnetoencephalography.

MEG probes the brain

The sensor array of the 306-channel magnetoencephalography device used in the authors lab. The 102 sensor units each contain three flux transformers: one superconducting magnetometer loop that measures the magnetic field passing through it, and two orthogonal figure-of-eight gradiometers that measure the first derivative of the magnetic flux. The "wooden" head is based on the magnetic resonance images of one particular subject.

The picture originally appeared there.

Great, thanks for the info. I'd still like it as a hat...
