Novel Method of Electromagnetic Field Measurements of the Human Brain

Abstract: IntroductionAdvancements in neuroimaging have changed the field of medicine. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) typically produce a static image of the brain, while continuous electroencephalogram (EEG) data is limited to the cortical surface. The brain's chemical reactions produce an electric circuit that generates a magnetic field. We seek to test the ability of a non-contact sensor to measure the human brain's electromagnetic field (EMF). MethodsA lightweight, inexpensive construc… Show more

“…The ability to sense the generation of EMF signals has been documented by Wiginton et al [3]. Anatomically, normal brain functions have been well described and localized physiologically such as generating and planning movement, processing auditory stimulus, visual imagining, and emotion [5].…”

“…Using a helmet with mu-metal shielding, copper mesh, and four Bx, By, Bz, and B319 proprietary electromagnetic passive sensors (QUASAR Federal Systems, San Diego, CA), electromagnetic fields (EMFs) of volunteer participants were identified and measured as described previously by Wiginton et al [3]. These sensors were then configured within a shielded helmet with sensors oriented towards the motor strip based on anatomical landmarks.…”
