    Well of course it’s an incremental improvement. Nobody but you is claiming anyone invented anything new.

    The wearable headset as it sits is still not portable, making it portable would be an excellent, and incremental, yes, advancement.

    From a different article:

    Although the wearable MEG system is housed inside a magnetically shielded room, it is still essential to cancel out the remnant Earth’s field. To do this, the team constructed a set of bi-planar electromagnetic coils that generate fields equal and opposite to the remnant Earth’s field. The coils – designed on two 1.6 m2 planes, placed either side of the subject – achieved a 15-fold reduction in the remnant field.

    Making this portable if possible would be very useful.
