Tsinghua University signed on, a second Tianjin facility followed, and Hangzhou Normal University ordered its own Orion LifeSpan package.
The four contracts total roughly $20 million, with Hangzhou’s unit slated for delivery in early 2026.

Compumedics isn’t claiming to own the market; it’s simply first out of the blocks.
MEG scanners are still rare in China compared with the country’s vast MRI fleet, and Orion’s dual-helmet design halves both the hardware bill and the room it needs, exactly the kind of maths provincial governments like as they race to build new neuroscience centres.
None of it turns Compumedics into a household name overnight, but it does explain why four Chinese universities have already signed purchase orders.
And as the China Brain Project accelerates, the real-time windows provided by MEG are likely to move from niche to mainstream.
