Patents

Cohen D, inventor; Cohen D, assignee. Magnetic study of bioelectric phenomena. US patent 3,557,777; 1971 Jan. 27. Summary: An apparatus and method for magnetic detection of bioelectric activity associated with muscle action or with other living tissue. The system comprises a magnetic shielding facility---and a highly sensitive magnetic detector within the enclosed space. ----Other uses, for example magnetic study of electric activity of the brain which might be termed magnetoencephalography, may also be achieved.
