    Magnetic signals from eye blinks were recorded, showing maximal signals over the posterior orbits. These blink signals, influenced by light and darkness, originate from transretinal current density.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biophysics
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Voluntary eye blinking generates measurable electrical and magnetic signals.
    • Understanding these signals can provide insights into ocular physiology and function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To record and analyze magnetic signals produced by voluntary eye blinking.
    • To investigate the origin and characteristics of these magnetic blink signals.
    • To correlate magnetic blink signals with electrical signals and environmental factors like light.

    Main Methods:

    • Recording magnetic signals during voluntary eye blinking.
    • Analyzing signal polarity and amplitude variations.
    • Utilizing three simulation models for interpretation.
    • Comparing magnetic and electrical blink/eye movement signals.

    Main Results:

    • Maximal magnetic signals were detected over the posterior orbits.
    • Signal polarity reversed over each eye and at the frontal midline.
    • Signal amplitude correlated with light intensity (increasing with light, decreasing with darkness).
    • Patterns were similar to electrical blink and eye movement signals.

    Conclusions:

    • The primary current source for magnetic blink signals is transretinal current density.
    • Lid movements alter the volume conductor geometry, influencing measured electrical and magnetic fields.
