Dear fellow MEG users
It with great sadness that I heard yesterday of the demise of 4D
Neuroimaging corporation.
4D had been producing MEG equipment for 25 years and had been the most
stable of the manufacturers.
Unfortunately the financial situation has hit their funders very hard
and they are no longer able to provide funds such that 4D can continue
trading.
There is an attempt to set up a service division as most of the parts
that comprise a MEG machine are made by third parties. Unfortunately
there is no guarantee that this can be achieved.
We are carefully considering all of the options and contingencies that
will be necessary to keep MEG here in York. I will endeavour to keep you
informed of our progress in doing so.
At the moment the equipment is working well and research and clinical
studies are continuing as normal. Please do not be put off carrying out
an MEG study (yet).
Our thoughts should be with the staff at 4D. All have been laid off
without last months salary, no redundancy or pension. They have been
good to us and I am sorry that the relationship will come to an end
Gary
