Window into the brain

(National Research University Higher School of Economics) In collaboration with scientists from the Ioffe Institute, HSE University researchers have developed an ultra-sensitive atomic magnetometric scheme with a sensitivity of 5 fTl × Hz-1/2, setting a performance record for sensors operating in the Earth's magnetic field. The scheme will be used to design a multichannel atomic magnetoencephalograph, expected to be the most accurate and compact device available today for non-invasive measurement of the brain's electrical activity.
