A SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) is a very sensitive magnetometer used to measure extremely weak magnetic fields, based on superconducting loops containing Josephson junctions. SQUIDs are sensitive enough to measure fields as low as 5×10 −18 T with a few days of averaged measurements. [ 1 ]
Figure 2(a) shows the I-V characteristic of a SQUID where ∆V is the modulation depth of the SQUID due to external magnetic fields. The voltage across a SQUID is a nonlinear periodic function of the applied magnetic field, with a periodicity of one flux quantum, Φ 0 =2.07×10 −15 Tm 2 (see Figure 2(b)). In order to convert this nonlinear ...
Synchronized neuronal currents induce weak magnetic fields. The brain's magnetic field, measuring at 10 femto tesla (fT) for cortical activity and 10 3 fT for the human alpha rhythm, is considerably smaller than the ambient magnetic noise in an urban environment, which is on the order of 10 8 fT or 0.1 μT. The essential problem of biomagnetism ...
Magnetocardiography (MCG) is a technique to measure the magnetic fields produced by electrical currents in the heart using extremely sensitive devices such as the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). If the magnetic field is measured using a multichannel device, a map of the magnetic field is obtained over the chest; from such a ...
Magnetomyography (MMG) is a technique for mapping muscle activity by recording magnetic fields produced by electrical currents occurring naturally in the muscles, using arrays of SQUIDs (superconducting quantum interference devices). [1] It has a better capability than electromyography for detecting slow or direct currents. The magnitude of the ...
The young turtles learned to distinguish the field where they found food, a gel mixture with fish flakes and nutrients, she said. They also received "an extra reward of squid and shrimp" when they ...
The squid floats along the water upside down with one eye aimed at the ocean floor and the other looking above. Named for its bright red color, the squid has red-tinted photophores (light-emitting ...
