Samuel Williamson (scientist)

Samuel Williamson is an American physicist and neuroscientist known for his contributions to the field of magnetoencephalography (MEG) and biomagnetism. He is particularly recognized for his work on developing and applying MEG techniques to study brain function, including sensory processing, cognitive processes, and neurological disorders.

Williamson's research has focused on using MEG to map the spatiotemporal dynamics of neural activity non-invasively. His work has contributed to understanding the neural basis of perception, attention, and memory. He has also explored the potential of MEG for diagnosing and monitoring neurological conditions such as epilepsy and schizophrenia.

Throughout his career, Williamson has held positions at institutions such as New York University (NYU), where he contributed to the development of NYU's MEG facility. He has authored and co-authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in leading scientific journals and has been recognized for his contributions to the field through awards and honors. His work has helped advance the understanding of brain function and the development of MEG technology for clinical and research applications. He has contributed significantly to making MEG a more accessible and reliable tool for neuroscience research.
