Abstract

A magnetic field recording system includes a headgear to be placed on a user; optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) disposed in or on the headgear to detect magnetic fields; at least two sensing modalities selected from the following: i) a magnetic sensing modality, ii) an optical sensing modality, or iii) an inertial sensing modality; and a tracking unit configured to receive, from each of the at least two sensing modalities, a corresponding magnetic data stream, optical data stream, or inertial data stream and to track a position or orientation of the headgear or user; and a system controller configured to control operation of the OPMs and to receive, from the tracking unit, the position or orientation of the headgear or user.
