Novel Method of Electromagnetic Field Measurements of the Human Brain.
This study describes a lightweight, inexpensive construct using non-contact EMF sensors to measure dynamic electromagnetic fields attributed to the human brain. Measurements in non-clinical volunteers reportedly differed from background recordings and changed during task performance and auditory stimulation. The authors conclude continuous, non-invasive measurement through the scalp and skull is feasible and that signals can be differentiated from background activity.
Key points
- The paper proposes a non-contact sensor setup intended to measure endogenous brain electromagnetic fields.
- Measurements were performed on non-clinical human volunteers with background recordings collected for comparison.
- The authors report detectable differences between background activity and signals measured with a human subject present.
- The authors report changes in measured magnetic field potential during a task and during auditory stimulation.
- The conclusion emphasizes feasibility of continuous, non-invasive measurement through scalp and skull in a standard environment.
- The authors state the measured signals are unique to individuals and distinguishable from background.
