Abstract

The unrivaled ability of SQUID magnetometers to measure weak magnetic fields associated with physiological and pathological activity in the human body has started a new field of research which is gaining significant interest both in laboratory and in clinical use. The present state of art of instrumentation is satisfactory even for the most demanding applications. Nevertheless fast improvements are being made to ensure higher feasibility in practical operation. The biomagnetic approach has proved to be particularly successful in localizing cerebral sources, like those related to primary and higher level brain functions. Impressive results have been achieved also in the study of spontaneous brain activity and in three-dimensional localization of epileptic foci.
