More Information
Summary:According to certain embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a magnetoencephalography and method employing a portable cart having a SQUID dewar mounted in an inverted manner thereon, and having a headrest assembly mounted on the cart for supporting the head of a patient and forming a portion of the dewar. The headrest assembly includes an array of magnetic sensors of the SQUID dewar for responding to electrical activity of the brain of the head. Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'invention concerne une magnéto-encéphalographie et un procédé mettant en application un chariot portable sur lequel est monté de façon inversée un récipient dewar SQUID, ainsi qu'un support de tête servant à supporter la tête du patient et faisant partie du récipient dewar. Ce support de tête comporte un ensemble de capteurs magnétiques du récipient dewar SQUID sensible à l'activité électrique du cerveau.
