We report a novel method for identifying the small intestine electrical activity slow wave frequencies from noninvasive biomagnetic measurements. Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID) magnetometer measurements are pre-processed to remove baseline drift and high frequency noise. Subsequently, the underlying source signals are separated using the well-known SOBI algorithm. A simple classification scheme identifies and assigns some of the SOBI components to a section of small bowel. Slow wave frequencies were clearly identified in 10 out of 12 test subjects to within 0.09–0.25 cycles per minute. The method is sensitive at the 40.3–55.9% level, while false positive rates were 0–8.6%. This technique could potentially be used to help diagnose gastrointestinal ailments and obviate some exploratory surgeries.
