The National Foundation for Functional Brain Imaging: merging two extreme applications of magnetic fields for neuroimaging.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Two methods based on superconducting technology are combined for neuroimaging. Magnetoencephalography is the measurement of magnetic fields emitted by the human brain, using SQUIDs. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) measures hemodynamic changes in the vicinity of active neurons and involves a large high field superconducting magnet.
