Kernel

I worked on Kernel Flux, a helmet that measured the magnetic fields produced by brain activity. My work covered sensor assembly and calibration, CAD fixtures, Python analysis, and participant studies.

I often tested the sensors on myself. Noise measurements and recorded brain responses helped us evaluate changes to the hardware. I co-authored the paper describing the completed system.

Flux required a magnetically shielded room. Working within that constraint made me interested in how brain measurements could become easier to collect outside a specialized lab. Kernel later discontinued Flux.
