Magnetic fields associated with the brain’s response to infrequent events

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

We have studied the magnetic field produced by the brain when attending to a variety of rare events. The temporal character of the response to a rare auditory stimulus is reported. The magnetic field appears to offer a useful new probe of endogeneous activity in the human brain.

Riassunto

Si è studiato il campo magnetico prodotto dal cervello prendendo in considerazione una varietà di eventi rari. Si riporta il carattere temporale della risposta a un raro stimolo uditivo. Il campo magnetico appare offrire un’utile nuova sonda dell’attività endogena nel cervello umano.
