High-Resolution Magnetoencephalography using Atomic Magnetrodes

 描述(由申请人提供)：我们建议开发一种小型、完全集成、超灵敏的商用磁强计，它将结合现有脑电电极的多用途和成本效益属性与SQUID传感器的灵敏度。我们的设备，称为磁极，将结合可靠的自主操作和直接的多通道集成，以实现强大的MEG系统，能够进行高分辨率定位和毫秒级计时。磁极电子设备和固件将提供交钥匙操作所需的所有自动化服务，并轻松集成到多通道系统中。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to develop a small, fully-integrated, ultra-sensitive, commercial magnetometer that will merge the multi-use and cost-effective attributes of present EEG electrodes with the sensitivity of SQUID sensors. Our device, referred to as a magnetrode, will combine reliable autonomous operation with straightforward multi-channel integration for a robust MEG system capable of high-resolution localization and millisecond-scale timing. The magnetrode electronics and firmware will provide all the automation services necessary for turn-key operation and easy integration into multi-channel systems.
