Summary

With a SQUID system, it is possible to record weak magnetic field from the brain. Multichannel SQUID systems are the main concern since the accuracy of neuron activity localization and the time needed for recording are dramatically improved. A study of the tonotopic and amplitopic organization of the human auditory cortex is presented as an example of a SQUID application. The SQUID system made it possible to analyze a minute neuron network function and its location without any invasion and anesthesia to humans. The SQUID system has been mainly used to study auditory, visual and somatosensory response of the human brain. The main current interest of SQUID applications is the diagnosis of epilepsy.
