摘要: Noise characteristics are reported for a SQUID system which is sufficiently sensitive to detect visually evoked magnetic fields of the human brain without shielding. Discrimination against much larger ambient background obtained through use flux transporter with detection coils in form second order gradiometer. The continuous spectrum noise, coherent noise at isolated frequencies, and transient features described. Examples spatial variation neuromagnetic field given emphasis on those aspects important considerations design effective systems.
