摘要
A SQUID magnetometer has successfully detected magnetic fields emitted from a human brain in a helmet-size superconducting magnetic shield of high-T-c superconductor Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O-x. The sensitivities of the rf-SQUID and the dc-SQUID of Quasi-Planar Josephson junctions - superconducting weak links are 20 fT/root Hz and 4.8 fT/root Hz respectively. The magnetic shield can reduce a magnetic field to - 120 dB or 10(-6) even at as low a frequency as 0.2 Hz. We have detected somatosensory evoked magnetic fields stimulating the tibial nerves of the patient by current pulses.
