    Area of Science:

    • Biophysics
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) are highly sensitive magnetometers.
    • Differential SQUID configurations offer enhanced noise rejection.
    • Accurate signal detection requires optimized coupling between detection coils and SQUID input.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the design and construction of a 4-channel differential SQUID magnetometer.
    • To investigate optimal methods for matching detection coils to the SQUID input.
    • To demonstrate the system's capability in acquiring biological signals.

    Main Methods:

    • Construction of a 4-channel differential SQUID magnetometer.
    • Detailed analysis of SQUID input coil matching techniques.
    • Acquisition of biological signals including auditory, dental pain, and visual evoked responses.

    Main Results:

    • Successful fabrication and assembly of the 4-channel differential SQUID system.
    • Demonstrated effective matching of detection coils to the SQUID input.
    • Presented representative data from auditory, dental pain, and visual evoked response measurements.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed 4-channel differential SQUID magnetometer is functional and suitable for biological signal measurement.
    • Proper coil-SQUID matching is critical for achieving high-fidelity signal acquisition.
    • The system shows promise for non-invasive monitoring of neural and physiological responses.
