Abstract
Low noise dc-SQUID systems allow noninvasive measurements of magnetic fields generated by electric currents in human peripheral nerves. High-resolution magnetoneurography techniques were used to detect the magnetic fields of stimulated leg nerves with amplitudes of only 10–20 fT over the lower spine. A signal-to-noise ratio of about 10 was achieved after a special designed signal processing routine which was sufficient for an analysis of the source current, i.e. in particular the estimation of its location, strength, and spatial extent.
