## Description
Upgrading Magnetoencephalography (MEG) System with Internal Helium Recycler (IHR).
Currently the Northern Ireland Functional Brain Mapping (NIFBM) facility located at the Intelligent Systems Research Centre (ISRC) in MS building of Magee campus, has the Neuromag Triux MEG system, which is a CE-certified proprietary medical device of MEGIN OY (formerly Elekta OY). MEGIN is the sole supplier of component parts and can alone undertake planned preventative maintenance in addition to ad hoc breakdown maintenance. 
In order to be able to continue with clinical works, the upgraded MEG system with Helium in close-cycle, must also be medical grade. The MEGIN’s Internal Helium Recycler (IHR) upgrade is the only Helium recycler technology capable of offering zero-loss Helium recycling and integrate fully with the medical grade Triux MEG system.
