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
