This study introduces an active magnetic shielding system to reduce magnetic field distortions during biomagnetic measurements. The developed system enhances measurement stability without a magnetically shielded room, offering a flexible and cost-effective solution.

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Biomagnetism
  • Sensor Technology

Background:

  • Biomagnetic measurements are susceptible to interference from external magnetic fields.
  • Existing solutions like magnetically shielded rooms are expensive and inflexible.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an active magnetic shielding system for biomagnetic measurements.
  • To improve measurement stability and reduce magnetic field disturbances without passive shielding.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an active magnetic shielding system using anisotropic magnetoresistive sensors, a digital signal processor, and two coil systems.
  • Generated homogeneous and spatial gradient magnetic fields.
  • Targeted reduction of vertical magnetic fields and gradients for a first-order gradient coil SQUID system.
